MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX208CAG RS-232 Transceiver

The MAX208CAG+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver integrated in a 24-pin SSOP package. It features four 0.1µF external capacitors and includes charge pump circuitry that enables operation from a single +5V power supply, eliminating the need for ±12V supplies. This device comprises three sections: charge pump voltage converters, drivers (transmitters), and receivers. The charge pump generates the necessary voltage levels, while the drivers and receivers handle serial data transmission and reception. Capable of data rates exceeding 120kbps, it maintains ±5V output signals as per EIA/TIA-232E standards. The transceiver operates within a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, supports temperatures from 0°C to 70°C, and consumes approximately 11mA of current. It includes four drivers and four receivers suitable for various applications such as communications, networking, portable devices, and medical equipment.
