RS-232 transceiver, 120 kbps, 2/2 driver-receiver pair
The MAX202CWE+T: It handles data rates up to 120 kbps, which is typical for legacy serial ports, industrial terminal interfaces, and point-of-sale equipment that still rely on the RS-232 protocol.
Supply and temperature range
The 500 mV receiver hysteresis cleans up noisy RS-232 lines, reducing the chance of false edges on long cable runs or in electrically noisy environments like a factory floor.
Package and board-fit
Surface-mount assembly with tape-and-reel or cut-tape options for prototyping or production runs.
