Description and Introduction

+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers The MAX234 is a high-performance, low-power RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Maxim Integrated. Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on factual information from Ic-phoenix technical data files:

### **Specifications:**
- **Supply Voltage:** +5V ±10%
- **Operating Temperature Range:** 0°C to +70°C (Commercial), -40°C to +85°C (Extended)
- **Data Rate:** Up to 120kbps
- **Number of Drivers/Receivers:** 2 Drivers, 2 Receivers
- **ESD Protection:** ±15kV (Human Body Model)
- **Package Options:** 16-pin DIP, SO, and TSSOP

### **Descriptions:**
- The MAX234 is a dual RS-232 transceiver designed for serial communication applications.
- It integrates charge-pump voltage converters to generate ±10V RS-232 levels from a single +5V supply.
- The device is compliant with EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 standards.
- It is suitable for battery-powered and portable devices due to its low power consumption.

### **Features:**
- **Low Power Consumption:** Typically 5mA supply current.
- **On-Chip Charge Pump:** Eliminates the need for external voltage converters.
- **Shutdown Mode:** Reduces power consumption to <1µA when inactive.
- **Enhanced ESD Protection:** Protects against electrostatic discharge up to ±15kV.
- **Wide Supply Voltage Range:** Operates reliably with a +5V ±10% supply.
- **Small Footprint:** Available in space-saving TSSOP and SO packages.

This information is based solely on the manufacturer's datasheet and technical documentation.
