The MAX232CWE is part of the MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers and receivers, designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. This component is particularly useful in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is not available, enabling single supply operation from a +5V source. It features an integrated charge pump circuitry, eliminating the need for external components for voltage conversion.
Key features include operation from a single +5V supply and a low power shutdown mode consuming only 5μW. The MAX232CWE is suitable for applications such as interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment. It is available in a 16-SOIC package suitable for surface mounting.
This transceiver family is offered in various temperature ranges, with this specific part likely intended for commercial or industrial use. The integrated charge pump simplifies design and saves board space, making it a cost-effective solution for serial communication needs.
