Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers

Alternative Part Number

  • ADM237LJN --: Pin-compatible RS-232 transceiver with equivalent driver/receiver count and similar supply requirements; widely available and a direct functional drop-in.
  • ST232ECN --: Comparable 5V RS-232 transceiver in a DIP package with similar driver/receiver configuration, offering a cost-effective alternative with matching functionality.
  • ICL3232ECPZ --: RS-232 transceiver with similar channel count and DIP footprint, suitable as a functional substitute when the original Maxim part is unavailable.
  • ICL232CPE --: Classic dual RS-232 driver/receiver in DIP package offering similar interface performance for legacy designs.
