Description and Introduction

【15kV ESD-Protected, +5V RS-232 Transceivers The MAX241ECWI is a part manufactured by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). Below are the factual specifications, descriptions, and features from Ic-phoenix technical data files:

### **Specifications:**
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated  
- **Part Number:** MAX241ECWI  
- **Package:** 28-pin Wide SOIC (SOIC-28)  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** 0°C to +70°C (Commercial Grade)  
- **Supply Voltage:** Typically operates at +5V  

### **Descriptions:**
- The MAX241ECWI is a **high-speed, low-power RS-232 transceiver** designed for serial communication applications.  
- It integrates charge-pump circuitry to generate ±10V RS-232 voltage levels from a single +5V supply.  
- Suitable for interfacing between UARTs (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters) and RS-232 ports.  

### **Features:**
1. **Dual Drivers and Dual Receivers:** Supports full-duplex communication.  
2. **Low Power Consumption:** Optimized for battery-powered applications.  
3. **On-Chip Charge Pump:** Eliminates the need for external voltage converters.  
4. **ESD Protection:** Provides ±15kV protection on transmitter outputs and receiver inputs.  
5. **Compliance:** Meets EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 standards.  
6. **Data Rate:** Supports up to **120kbps** transmission speed.  
7. **Auto-Shutdown:** Reduces power consumption when inactive.

Alternative Part Number

  • SP213ECA --: Pin-compatible multi-channel RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump, direct functional drop-in for the MAX241 in the same SOIC-28 footprint.
  • ADM241LJR --: Quad RS-232 driver/receiver with on-chip charge pump, functionally equivalent to the MAX241 and widely used as a second-source replacement.
  • ICL241ECWI --: Equivalent 4-driver/5-receiver RS-232 transceiver with internal charge pump, same pinout and package, suitable as an alternate source.
  • ST241ACDR --: Quad RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump, same function and pinout family, suitable drop-in replacement.
  • ICL241ECPZ --: Equivalent quad RS-232 driver/receiver with charge pump, matching electrical characteristics and pin configuration.
  • ADM241LJRZ --: Pin-compatible RS-232 transceiver with 4 drivers and 5 receivers in a 28-pin SOIC package, functionally equivalent to the MAX241.
  • SP241ACT --: Direct functional replacement for the MAX241 quad-driver/5-receiver RS-232 interface, widely used as a drop-in alternative.
