Summary:
The Texas Instruments MAX232 is a dual EIA-232 driver and receiver operating from a single 5V supply. It supports data rates up to 120kbit/s.

Description:
The Texas Instruments MAX232 is a dual driver and receiver designed for EIA-232-F communication. It operates from a single 5V power supply, utilizing charge-pump capacitors to generate the necessary TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels, featuring a typical threshold of 1.3V and hysteresis of 0.5V, with the ability to accept ±30V inputs.

This device supports data rates up to 120kbit/s and has a low supply current of 8mA typical. It includes ESD protection that exceeds JESD 22 standards, specifically 2000V Human-body model (A114-A). The MAX232 is suitable for applications such as battery-powered systems, terminals, modems, and computers.

Available in various package types including SOIC, PDIP, and SOP, the MAX232 is designed for a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Its dual-channel design with two drivers and two receivers makes it a versatile component for serial communication interfaces.
