The Maxim family of dual RS232 line drivers and receivers are intended for all EIA/TIA-232E, V.24 and V.28 communications interface. Maxim’s RS232 dual transmitter/receiver will allow applications such as interface translation, modem, laptop as well as RS232 battery-powered systems due to their low-power shutdown mode. The multichannel transceiver MAX233, MAX235 have no external components therefore are ideal where space is crucial.
Multichannel RS232 Driver/Receiver (RS232 Transceiver)
Data Rates range from 120 kbit/s to 1 Mbit/s
Low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation
Low-Voltage
Some RS232 Transceivers may incorporate 0.1uF External Capacitors
