MAX232ESE+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX232ESE+ is a versatile RS-232 transceiver IC designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications. It operates on a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply thanks to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

This transceiver supports full duplex communication with 2 drivers and 2 receivers, capable of data rates up to 120Kbps. It features receiver hysteresis of 500mV, aiding in noise immunity. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for various environments.

 

Packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) case, the MAX232ESE+ is designed for surface mounting. Its integrated charge pump and compact package make it ideal for applications where board space is critical and ±12V supplies are unavailable.

 

Key features include a 5μW shutdown mode for power savings and operation from a 4.5V to 5.5V supply. This component is well-suited for interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment.
