MAX232DWR Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX232DWR from Texas Instruments is a versatile dual RS-232 transceiver IC. It is designed to operate from a single 5V power supply, utilizing charge-pump capacitors to generate the necessary TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels. This device features two drivers and two receivers, supporting full duplex communication.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a logic voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and a maximum data rate of 120Kbps. The transceiver provides ±9V typical output voltage and accepts ±30V input levels. It also includes ±2kV ESD protection (HBM) and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

 

The MAX232DWR is supplied in a 16-SOIC package, suitable for surface mounting. Its design adheres to TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU recommendation V.28 standards, making it compatible with standard serial communication interfaces. The typical supply current is 8mA.

 

This transceiver is ideal for applications requiring serial data transmission between microcontrollers and other devices, such as industrial control systems, data acquisition, and communication modules.
