Working Principles

The MAX202CPE is designed to facilitate bidirectional communication between devices using the RS-232 protocol. It converts the logic-level signals from the transmitting device into RS-232 compliant voltage levels for transmission over long distances. On the receiving end, it converts the RS-232 signals back into logic-level signals for the receiving device.

Detailed Application Field Plans

The MAX202CPE is commonly used in various applications, including:

1. Industrial automation systems
2. Telecommunication equipment
3. Data communication devices
4. Point-of-sale terminals
5. Networking equipment
