Maxim Integrated (MAX237CNG+) Transceiver RS232, 4.5V-5.5V supply

Product Overview The MAX237CNG+ is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 24 pin DIP 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 MAX237 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 0°C to 70°C Five RS232 drivers and three RS232 receivers Saves board space Data rate of 120Kbps Transition slew rate is 5.1V/µs (CL = 50pF to 2500pF, RL = 3Kohm to 7Kohm) VCC supply current of 7mA with no load Complements IBM PC serial port Applications Communications & Networking, Portable Devices, Medical Product Information Device Type: Transceiver IC Interface Type: RS232 No. of Drivers: 5Drivers No. of Receivers: 3Receivers Supply Voltage Min: 4.5V Supply Voltage Max: 5.5V Driver Case Style: DIP No. of Pins: 24Pins Operating Temperature Min: 0°C Operating Temperature Max: 70°C Product Range: - Automotive Qualification Standard: - MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited IC Generic Number: MAX237
