MAX203CWP+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX203CWP+ is a dual RS-232 transceiver from the MAX200-MAX209 family, designed for single +5V supply operation. It integrates charge pump circuitry and four 0.1µF capacitors to generate ±10V internal voltages without external components. The device features two drivers and two receivers with data rates exceeding 120kbps. Operating within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, it utilizes a 20-pin Wide SO package.
