MAX202CWE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202CWE+ is a +5V-powered, full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two drivers and two receivers operating at data rates up to 120kbps. The device utilizes an integrated charge pump circuitry requiring four external 0.1µF capacitors to generate the necessary ±10V supply rails from a single +5V input. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO package.
