MAX202E–MAX213E,
MAX232E/MAX241E
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX202E-MAX213E, MAX232E, and MAX241E are a
family of RS-232 and V.28 transceivers with high ±15kV
ESD HBM protection and integrated charge pump circuitry for single +5V supply operation. The various combinations of features are outlined in the Selector Guide. The
drivers and receivers for all ten devices meet all EIA/TIA232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to
120kbps when loaded.
The MAX211E/MAX213E/MAX241E are available in 28pin SO and SSOP packages. The MAX202E/MAX232E
come in 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP
packages. The MAX203E comes in a 20-pin DIP/SO
package, and needs no external charge-pump capacitors. The MAX205E comes in a 24-pin wide DIP package, and also eliminates external charge-pump
capacitors.
