Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers MAX202CSE

The MAX202CSE is an RS-232 transceiver designed for single +5V supply operation, featuring integrated charge pump circuitry that eliminates the need for a bipolar ±12V supply. It supports data rates exceeding 120 kbps while maintaining ±5V EIA/TIA-232E output signal levels. The device includes two drivers and two receivers, with a shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to 1 µA, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. The MAX202CSE is available in a 16-pin narrow small-outline (SO) package, which is advantageous for space-constrained designs. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is characterized by low power supply current requirements, enhancing its efficiency in portable and handheld equipment.
