Rochester Electronics Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers MAX232ACWE

The MAX232ACWE is a multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver designed for applications requiring a +5V power supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply. It integrates charge pump circuitry, allowing for single-supply operation and saving board space by reducing the number of external components needed. The device supports data rates up to 200 kbps and features a shutdown mode that consumes only 5 µW, contributing to lower power requirements. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is available in a 16-pin wide SO package. The MAX232ACWE is suitable for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostics equipment, making it a versatile choice for various communication applications.
