MAX203 is a family of RS-232 and V.28 transceivers with integrated charge pump circuitry for single +5V supply operation.

The drivers maintain the ±5V EIA/TIA-232E output signal levels at data rates in excess of 120kbps when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification.

The MAX203 use no external components and are recommended for applications with limited circuit board space.
