MAX242EWN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX242EWN is a multichannel RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices, part of the MAX220-MAX249 family. It is designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces, particularly in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available. This device enables single supply operation from a +5V source, thanks to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

Key electrical specifications include a data rate of 200kbps and receiver hysteresis of 500 mV. The transceiver operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports full duplex communication with 2 drivers and 2 receivers. It features a low power shutdown mode consuming only 5μW.

 

The MAX242EWN is housed in an 18-SOIC package and is designed for surface mount applications. It operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. This transceiver is suitable for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment.
