MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX242EWN RS-232 Driver Receiver

The MAX242EWN+ is a 5V-powered multichannel RS-232 driver and receiver integrated circuit in an 18-pin WSOIC package. It supports communication standards like EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24, suitable for applications without ±12V supplies. The device features a dual charge pump DC-DC converter, RS-232 drivers, receivers, and enable controls. Its circuitry allows operation from a single +5V source, with high data rates up to 200 Kbps, rapid slew rate of 12V/µs, low power shutdown mode at 5 µW, and consumes around 4mA load current. Ideal for communication, networking, portable, and medical systems, it offers low power operation, space efficiency, and separate enable controls.
