Texas Instruments Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers LMS202IMX

The LMS202IMX is a dual transceiver designed for RS-232 communication, featuring two transmitters and two receivers. It operates on a single +5V power supply, utilizing an on-chip DC-to-DC converter that requires four external 0.1¬µF capacitors to generate the necessary dual internal power supplies for RS-232 compatible output levels. The device supports data rates up to 230 kbps and complies with EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications. The transceiver is available in a 16-pin wide SOIC package and serves as a drop-in replacement for Maxim's MAX202. It is suitable for various applications, including point-of-sale equipment and handheld devices. The LMS202IMX provides TTL/CMOS compatible inputs and outputs, with a typical transmitter output swing of ¬±8V when loaded with a 3k,Ѷ load. The device also features a wide operating temperature range, making it versatile for different environments.
