Product overview
Overview
The MAX202E–MAX213E, MAX232E/MAX241E line drivers/receivers are designed for RS-232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup.
The various combinations of features are outlined in the Selector Guide.
The drivers and receivers for all ten devices meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification.
The MAX211E/MAX213E/MAX241E are available in 28-pin SO packages, as well as a 28-pin SSOP that uses 60% less board space.
The MAX202E/MAX232E comein 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP packages.
The MAX203E comes in a 20-pin DIP/SO package, and needs no external charge-pump capacitors.
The MAX205E comes in a 24-pin wide DIP package, and also eliminates external charge-pump capacitors.
The MAX206E/MAX207E/MAX208E come in 24-pin SO, SSOP, and narrow DIP packages.
TheMAX232E/MAX241E operate with four 1µF capacitors, while the MAX202E/MAX206E/MAX207E/MAX208E/MAX211E/MAX213E operate with four 0.1µF capacitors, further reducing cost and board space.Next-Generation Device
