Maxim Integrated (MAX242EWN+) Transceiver RS232, 4.5V-5.5V supply

Product OverviewThe MAX242EWN+ is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 18 pinWSOIC package. This device is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24communications interfaces. It is particularly suitable for applications where±12V is not available. The MAX242 has four sections such as dual charge pump DCto DC voltage converter, RS232 driver, RS232 receiver and receiver/transmitterenable control inputs. The integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the needfor bipolar ±12V supply and enables single supply operation from +5V supply. Itis used in interface translation and multidrop RS232 network applications.Supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5VOperating temperature range from -40°C to 85°CTwo RS232 drivers and two RS232 receiversSaves board space5µW shutdown mode saves power for reduced power requirementsData rate of 200KbpsTransition slew rate is 12V/µs (CL = 50pF to 2500pF, RL = 3Kohm to 7Kohm)VCC supply current (VSHDN = VCC) of 4mA with no load and 15mA with 3Kohm load atboth inputsShutdown supply current of 0.1µA at TA = 25°CSeparate shutdown and enableProduct InformationDevice Type: TransceiverIC Interface Type: RS232No. of Drivers: 2DriversNo. of Receivers: 2ReceiversSupply Voltage Min: 4.5VSupply Voltage Max: 5.5VDriver Case Style: WSOICNo. of Pins: 18PinsOperating Temperature Min: -40°COperating Temperature Max: 85°CProduct Range: -Automotive Qualification Standard: -MSL: MSL 1 - UnlimitedIC Generic Number: MAX242
