The MAX202ID from Texas Instruments is a highly efficient, dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5-V supply.

• Product family: MAX232 family
• Package: 16-pin SOIC package
• Receiver feature: Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.
• Power consumption: operates from a single 5-V power supply and typically consumes 5 mA of current.
• Data rate: handle up to 120 kbps
• Operating temperature range: operate in a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 85°C
• ESD tolerance: has a high electrostatic discharge (ESD) tolerance.
• Applications: widely used in a variety of fields such as telecommunications, data communications, and industrial control systems.
