Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers MAX223CAI

The MAX223CAI is a multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver designed for applications where a ¬±12V supply is not available, operating from a single +5V supply. It integrates charge pump circuitry, eliminating the need for external components and saving board space. The device supports a wide input voltage range and features integrated capacitors, which further reduce component count. The MAX223CAI is suitable for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment. It operates within a temperature range of 0¬8C to +70¬8C and is available in a 28-pin SSOP package. The device also includes a low power shutdown mode, enhancing its efficiency in power-sensitive applications.
