Maxim MAX220-MAX249 RS-232 Line Drivers/Receivers Datasheet
The MAX220‑MAX249 family provides +5 V‑powered multichannel RS‑232 line drivers and receivers designed for low‑power, battery‑operated systems where +12 V is unavailable. Applications include portable computers, low‑power modems, interface translation, and multidrop RS‑232 networks.
The datasheet lists absolute maximum ratings, detailed electrical characteristics, and a wide range of package options (DIP, SO, SSOP, QFP, etc.). Ordering information, selection tables, and typical operating curves help designers choose the appropriate part and configure it for low‑power shutdown, high‑speed data rates up to 1 Mbps, and various temperature ranges.
