The MAX225CWI+G36 is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 28 pin WSOIC package. This device is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. It is particularly suitable for applications where ±12V is not available. The MAX225 has four sections such as dual charge pump DC to DC voltage converter, RS232 driver, RS232 receiver and receiver/transmitter enable control inputs. The integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V supply and enables single supply operation from +5V supply. The device uses no external components and is recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical. It is used in interface translation and multidrop RS232 network applications.
Supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25V
Operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C
Five RS232 drivers and five RS232 receivers
Saves board space
5μW shutdown mode saves power for reduced power requirements
Data rate of 120Kbps
VCC supply current of 10mA with no load and 40mA with 3Kohm loads on all outputs
Transition slew rate is 10V/μs (CL = 50pF to 2500pF, RL = 3Kohm to 7Kohm)
