Product Summary

The MAX236EWG is a line driver/receiver intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. The MAX236EWG is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. The MAX236EWG uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical. The applications of the MAX236EWG include Portable Computers, Low-Power Modems, Interface Translation, Battery-Powered RS-232 Systems, Multidrop RS-232 Networks.
