The MAX202E–MAX213E, MAX232E/MAX241E line drivers/receivers are designed for RS-232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. The drivers and receivers for all ten devices meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification.
The MAX202E‑MAX213E and MAX232E/MAX241E line drivers/receivers are designed for RS‑232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against +15 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks without latch‑up, and the devices meet EIA/TIA‑232E and CCITT V.28 specifications up to 120 kbps when properly loaded.
Typical applications include notebook, sub‑notebook, palmtop computers, battery‑powered equipment, and hand‑held devices. The family offers a range of package options (DIP, TSSOP, SSOP, SO) and requires either four 0.1 µF or four 1 pF external capacitors depending on the part, reducing board space and cost.
