The MAX235CPG+G36 is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 24 pin DIP 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 MAX235 has four sections such as dual charge pump DC to DC voltage converter, RS232 driver, RS232 receiver and receiver/transmitter enable control inputs. It also has integrated capacitors. 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
