The MAX230CWP+T is a +5V-powered, multichannel RS-232 driver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and utilizes a 20-pin Wide SOIC package. The device provides five drivers with a data rate of 120 kbps and features an internal shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 1 mA. It requires external capacitors for its charge pump circuitry.
Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C) and 'WP' denotes the 20-pin Wide SOIC package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Ensure external capacitor values match datasheet requirements for proper charge pump operation.
Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple RS-232 transmit channels without bipolar power supplies. Compare against the MAX232 family for channel count differences; the MAX230 offers five drivers versus two. Evaluate the 120 kbps data rate limit against system baud rate requirements to ensure signal integrity.
This part belongs to the MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers designed for applications where ±12V supplies are unavailable. The MAX230 variant specifically focuses on providing five transmitter outputs, distinguishing it from transceiver models in the same series that include receiver channels.
