MAX232ESE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX232ESE from Analog Devices is a versatile RS-232 transceiver, part of the MAX220–MAX249 family. It is designed for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications, particularly in applications where a bipolar ±12V supply is unavailable. This device enables single-supply operation from a +5V source, thanks to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

Key electrical specifications include an operating voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and a data rate of up to 120Kbps. It supports full duplex communication and features receiver hysteresis of 500 mV. The device integrates 2 drivers and 2 receivers, making it suitable for various interface translation needs.

 

Packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface-mount case, the MAX232ESE is designed for efficient board space utilization. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (TA). The integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external components for ±12V generation, simplifying designs and saving board space. It also features a low 5μW shutdown mode for power savings.

 

Applications include interface translation, multidrop RS-232 networks, and portable diagnostic equipment. The MAX232ESE is suitable for designs requiring robust serial communication in a compact form factor.
