Maxim MAX200/MAX211/MAX213 RS-232 Transceiver Datasheet
The MAX200‑MAX211/MAX213 family are 5 V RS‑232 and V.28 transceivers that generate the required ±10 V RS‑232 levels using on‑board charge‑pump converters. They meet EIA/TIA‑232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120 kbps and include shutdown modes for low‑power operation.
The devices are offered in 28‑pin SO and SSOP packages, support a wide operating temperature range, and provide features such as auto‑shutdown, receiver enable control, and low‑leakage shutdown currents (<1 pA). Ordering information, package dimensions, and detailed electrical characteristics are provided throughout the sheet.
