The MAX130ACPL+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for serial communications systems. It is a low-power, 5V-powered, quad RS-232 driver-receiver. This IC is commonly used in applications where multiple serial ports are required to connect devices, such as computers, printers, and modems.
Here are the key features of the MAX130ACPL+:
1. Quad Driver-Receivers: This IC integrates four driver-receiver pairs, enabling the device to handle communication for up to four serial ports simultaneously. Each driver-receiver pair consists of a driver that converts TTL or CMOS-level signals into RS-232 levels and a receiver that converts RS-232 signals back into TTL or CMOS levels.
2. Integrated Charge Pumps: The MAX130ACPL+ incorporates charge pumps for generating necessary RS-232 voltage levels, eliminating the need for external power supply voltages. These charge pumps ensure reliable communication by providing the required positive and negative voltage levels for RS-232 signaling.
3. Low Power Consumption: This IC is designed with low-power consumption in mind, making it suitable for applications requiring energy efficiency. It operates on a single 5V power supply and consumes minimal power, making it ideal for portable devices or battery-powered applications
