Description and Introduction

+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers The MAX231EWE is a dual RS-232 driver/receiver manufactured by Maxim Integrated. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on Ic-phoenix technical data files:

### **Specifications:**  
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated  
- **Type:** Dual RS-232 Transceiver  
- **Package:** 16-pin Wide SOIC (SO-16)  
- **Operating Voltage:** +5V  
- **Data Rate:** Up to 120kbps  
- **Number of Drivers/Receivers:** 2 Drivers, 2 Receivers  
- **ESD Protection:** ±15kV (Human Body Model)  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to +85°C  

### **Descriptions:**  
The MAX231EWE is a dual RS-232 transceiver designed for serial communication applications. It includes two drivers and two receivers, making it suitable for full-duplex communication. The device operates from a single +5V power supply and features onboard charge-pump voltage converters to generate RS-232-compliant voltage levels (±5V to ±10V).  

### **Features:**  
- Single +5V power supply operation  
- Onboard charge-pump voltage converters  
- Meets EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 standards  
- Low-power shutdown mode  
- Enhanced ESD protection (±15kV)  
- Compatible with 3V and 5V logic levels  
- Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C)  

This information is strictly factual and derived from the manufacturer's datasheet.

Alternative Part Number

  • ADM231LAN --: Pin-compatible dual RS-232 driver/receiver with on-chip charge pump, functionally equivalent to MAX231 in DIP/SOIC packages.
  • ICL231CPE --: Direct second-source equivalent of the MAX231 dual RS-232 transceiver, same pinout and electrical characteristics.
  • LT1181ACN --: Dual RS-232 driver/receiver with integrated charge pump, interchangeable in most MAX231 applications with similar supply and data-rate specs.
  • ICL232CPE --: Pin-compatible dual RS-232 driver/receiver in a 16-pin DIP, widely used as a direct substitute for the MAX231 with similar supply and interface characteristics.
  • ADM232AAN --: Equivalent dual RS-232 transceiver with on-board charge pump, same 16-pin DIP footprint and comparable electrical performance.
  • ST232CN --: Low-cost dual RS-232 driver/receiver functionally equivalent to the MAX231, suitable for 5V systems with matching pinout.
  • HIN232CP --: Alternative dual RS-232 driver/receiver with equivalent function and pinout, suitable as a drop-in replacement in most designs.
