MAX242CWN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX242CWN is a full duplex transceiver IC 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 features 2 drivers and 2 receivers, with a data rate of up to 200kbps. It offers receiver hysteresis of 500mV and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The MAX242CWN is suitable for applications requiring interface translation and multidrop RS-232 networks.

 

Packaged in an 18-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm width) format, the MAX242CWN is designed for surface mounting. Its integrated charge pump and compact package make it ideal for applications where board space is critical and a bipolar ±12V supply is unavailable.
