Product Summary

The MAX238CWG+T is a 5V-powered, multichannel rs-232 driver. The MAX238CWG+T is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5uW. The MAX238CWG+T uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.
