MAX242EWN Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX242EWN is part of the MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. This transceiver is intended for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available.

 

Key features include single supply operation from a +5V source, enabled by an integrated charge pump circuitry. This design saves board space and eliminates the need for external components for voltage conversion. The device also offers a low-power shutdown mode, consuming only 5μW, which is beneficial for power-sensitive applications.

 

The MAX242EWN is suitable for applications such as interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment. It is available in a DIP/SO package.

 

This series of transceivers is offered in various packages and temperature options, catering to a wide range of industrial and commercial requirements.
