Maxim MAX214 RS-232 Transceiver Datasheet
The MAX214 provides a complete 8‑line RS‑232 interface that can be programmed as either DTE or DCE via a control pin, eliminating the need for separate null‑modem cables. It operates from a single +5 V supply and includes dual charge‑pump converters to generate the required ±10 V levels.
Key features include a guaranteed 116 kbps data rate, shutdown current as low as 4 µA, and configurable HI‑Z inputs for flexible multi‑receiver applications. The device is offered in DIP and SO packages with a wide operating temperature range.
