Rated for 120 kbps data rate, it covers the standard RS-232 band for legacy serial links, industrial terminal communication, and point-of-sale equipment where 115.2 kbps is the common ceiling. Supplied in tube packaging, it suits hand-assembly or low-volume reflow; the surface-mount body requires a typical reflow profile for 1.27 mm pitch SOIC, with no exposed pad or special thermal management. The RS-232 protocol itself is single-ended and ground-referenced; for runs beyond a few metres or noisy environments, the driver's output swing and slew rate are designed to meet the EIA-232 standard at 120 kbps over 15 m of cable. Fully RoHS3 compliant (2011/65/EU + 2015/863), with no exemptions for lead or restricted substances. The part is also REACH and WEEE compliant per Analog Devices standard declarations.","metaTitle":"MAX234EWE+ RS-232 Driver, 120 kbps, 16-SOIC, Active","metaDescription":"Analog Devices MAX234EWE+ RS-232 driver, 4/0, 120 kbps, 4.5-5.5 V supply, -40 to 85°C, 16-SOIC.
