Maxim Integrated (MAX242EWN+) Transceiver RS232, 4.5V-5.5V supply

Product Overview The MAX242EWN+ is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 18 pin WSOIC package. This device is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. It is particularly suitable for applications where ±12V is not available. The MAX242 has four sections such as dual charge pump DC to DC voltage converter, RS232 driver, RS232 receiver and receiver/transmitter enable control inputs. The integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V supply and enables single supply operation from +5V supply. It is used in interface translation and multidrop RS232 network applications. Supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C Two RS232 drivers and two RS232 receivers Saves board space 5µW shutdown mode saves power for reduced power requirements Data rate of 200Kbps Transition slew rate is 12V/µs (CL = 50pF to 2500pF, RL = 3Kohm to 7Kohm) VCC supply current (VSHDN = VCC) of 4mA with no load and 15mA with 3Kohm load at both inputs Shutdown supply current of 0.1µA at TA = 25°C Separate shutdown and enable Product Information Device Type: Transceiver IC Interface Type: RS232 No. of Drivers: 2Drivers No. of Receivers: 2Receivers Supply Voltage Min: 4.5V Supply Voltage Max: 5.5V Driver Case Style: WSOIC No. of Pins: 18Pins Operating Temperature Min: -40°C Operating Temperature Max: 85°C Product Range: - Automotive Qualification Standard: - MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited IC Generic Number: MAX242
