Maxim Integrated MAX221EAE+, Line Transceiver, EIA/TIA-232, 4.5 → 5.5 V, 16-Pin SSOP

The Maxim family of dual RS232 line drivers and receivers are intended for all EIA/TIA-232E, V.24 and V.28 communications interface. Maxim’s RS232 dual transmitter/receiver will allow applications such as interface translation, modem, laptop as well as RS232 battery-powered systems due to their low-power shutdown mode. The multichannel transceiver MAX233, MAX235 have no external components therefore are ideal where space is crucial.
