Product details

RS-232 link budget and channel count

The MAX238CWG+: Data rate is rated at 120 Kbps, which covers the common 115.2 Kbps UART baud rate with margin for the cable capacitance and driver slew limits typical of a 1-2 m RS-232 run.

Supply and temperature envelope

This suits indoor equipment, test gear, and benchtop instrumentation where the ambient stays within a conditioned space.

Housed in a 24-SOIC wide-body package (7.50 mm body width, 0.295" pitch), the footprint matches the standard JEDEC SOIC-24W land pattern. The 1.27 mm pin pitch is hand-solderable and inspectable under a microscope — no X-ray needed for rework. Supplied in tube format, which is the typical delivery for prototype and low-volume builds. The tube aligns with pick-and-place feeders that accept SOIC-24 wide tubes.
