The MAX202CPW is a high-quality, advanced product from Texas Instruments, a renowned global semiconductor company.

• Type: dual driver/receiver
• Feature: includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.
• Pins: 16-pin device
• Power supply: operates on a single 5V power supply
• Drivers/Receivers: features two drivers and two receivers
• Data rates: operate @ data rates of up to 120 kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state.
• Power consumption: has low power consumption, which makes it ideal for battery-powered applications. It also has an automatic power-down function that reduces power consumption when not in use, making it an energy-efficient choice.
• Temperature range: operate @ temperatures ranging from 0 to 70 degrees Celsius
• Application: designed for interfacing data terminal equipment (DTE) with data communication equipment (DCE). It is ideal for applications such as portable computers, low-power modems, interface translation, and RS-232 extension cords. It is also suitable for use in telecommunications, industrial equipment, and any other system requiring RS-232 communication interfaces.
