MAX242CPN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX242CPN is a transceiver IC from Analog Devices, designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. It operates from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply due to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

This device supports full duplex communication with 2 drivers and 2 receivers, capable of handling data rates up to 200kbps. It features receiver hysteresis of 500mV, contributing to reliable signal reception. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to 70°C.

 

The MAX242CPN is packaged in an 18-PDIP through-hole mount configuration, with a case size of 18-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm). Its integrated charge pump and compact design make it suitable for applications where board space is a consideration.

 

This transceiver is ideal for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment. It offers a 5μW shutdown mode for reduced power consumption.
