MAX208CNG

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX208CNG is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and three receivers. It operates at data rates exceeding 120kbps using integrated charge pump circuitry to generate ±10V from a single supply. The device requires four external 0.1µF capacitors for voltage conversion. It supports full-duplex communication with TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. The component is housed in a 24-pin Narrow Plastic DIP package and functions within an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
