- **Interface Standard:** RS-232  

### **Descriptions:**  
The MAX202CPWR is a low-power, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver designed for serial communication applications. It integrates charge-pump circuitry to generate RS-232 voltage levels from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for external power supplies.  

### **Features:**  
- **On-Chip Charge Pump:** Generates ±10V RS-232 levels from a single +5V supply.  
- **Low Power Consumption:** Typically 5mA supply current.  
- **Compliance:** Meets EIA/TIA-232-F and ITU-T V.28 standards.  
- **Enhanced ESD Protection:** Protects against electrostatic discharge up to ±15kV.  
- **Wide Supply Range:** Operates from +4.5V to +5.5V.  

This device is commonly used in industrial control, telecommunications, and embedded systems requiring RS-232 communication.
