Maxim Integrated (MAX234CWE+) RS232 Driver / Receiver RS232

Product Overview The MAX234CWE+ is a +5V powered, multichannel RS232 driver in 16 pin WSOIC package. The line driver is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces particularly applications where ±12V is not available. It eliminates need of external components and is recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical. It has dual internal charge pump that convert +5V to ±10V (unloaded) for RS232 driver operation. The first converter uses capacitor C1 to double the +5V input to +10V on C3 at the V+ output. The second converter uses capacitor C2 to invert +10V to -10V on C4 at the V- output. Typical applications include interface and portable diagnostics equipment. Supply voltage range is 4.5V to 5.5V Operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C Eliminates the need for a bipolar ±12V supply Four transmitters Four external capacitors of 1µF Data rate of 120Kbps Applications Communications & Networking, Portable Devices Product Information Device Type: RS232 Driver / Receiver IC Interface Type: RS232 No. of Drivers: 4Drivers Supply Voltage Min: 4.5V Supply Voltage Max: 5.5V Driver Case Style: WSOIC No. of Pins: 16Pins Operating Temperature Min: 0°C Operating Temperature Max: 70°C Product Range: - Automotive Qualification Standard: - MSL: MSL 1 - Unlimited
