MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX238EWG RS-232 Driver Receiver

The MAX238EWG+ is a 24-pin WSOIC package multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver powered by a +5V supply. Designed to support all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces, it is ideal for applications where ±12V supplies are unavailable. The device features four sections: a dual charge pump DC-DC voltage converter, four RS-232 drivers, four RS-232 receivers, and receiver/transmitter enable control inputs. Its integrated charge pump eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V power supplies, enabling operation from a single +5V supply. Key features include a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, a data rate of 120 kbps, a transition slew rate of 5.1 V/µs, and a Vcc supply current of 7 mA with no load. It offers four drivers and four receivers, saving board space and making it suitable for communications and networking, portable devices, and medical applications.
