Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers MAX203EEPP

The MAX203EEPP is a 5V RS-232 transceiver that features integrated high ±15kV ESD protection and requires no external charge-pump capacitors, simplifying design and reducing board space. It operates with a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and is suitable for applications in battery-powered and portable diagnostic equipment. The MAX203EEPP is housed in a 20-pin DIP/SO package and is rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Its low power consumption includes a shutdown mode that draws only 1OºA, enhancing energy efficiency in applications.
