The Texas Instruments MAX232ECDWR is a versatile dual RS-232 transceiver IC. It operates from a single 5V power supply, utilizing charge-pump capacitors to generate the necessary RS-232 voltage levels. This device features two drivers and two receivers, supporting full duplex communication at data rates up to 250kbps.
Key electrical characteristics include a logic voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and a typical output voltage of ±9V. The transceiver is equipped with robust ESD protection, including ±15kV Human-Body Model (HBM) and ±8kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge protection on its RS-232 bus pins. It also offers ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air-gap discharge protection.
Packaged in a 16-SOIC surface mount configuration, the MAX232ECDWR is suitable for various industrial and commercial applications requiring serial communication interfaces. Its operating temperature range is typically between 0°C and 70°C, with some sources indicating a wider range of -40°C to 85°C.
This transceiver meets or exceeds TIA/RS-232-F and ITU recommendation V.28 standards. It is designed for applications where reliable serial data transmission is critical, such as in embedded systems, industrial control, and data acquisition equipment.
