MAX232EPE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX232EPE is a versatile RS-232 transceiver IC from Analog Devices, designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. It operates efficiently from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply due to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

This transceiver supports a data rate of 120Kbps and offers a full duplex communication mode with 2 drivers and 2 receivers. It is suitable for applications requiring interface translation and multidrop RS-232 networks. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The MAX232EPE is housed in a 16-PDIP package, designed for through-hole mounting. Its compact design and integrated features make it a practical choice for applications where board space is a consideration. The device also includes a low-power shutdown mode, consuming only 5μW.
