MAX232NS Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX232NS from Texas Instruments is a dual EIA-232 driver and receiver integrated circuit. It is designed to operate from a single 5V power supply, meeting or exceeding TIA/EIA-232-F standards. This transceiver features two drivers and two receivers, capable of handling data rates up to 120Kbps.

 

The device supports a wide input voltage range of ±30V and operates within a supply voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. Its receivers convert TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels with a typical threshold of 1.3V and 500mV hysteresis. The drivers convert TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.

 

Packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width) format, the MAX232NS is suitable for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (TA) and offers typical low supply current of 8mA. ESD protection exceeds 2000V via the Human-body model.

 

This transceiver is ideal for applications such as battery-powered systems, terminals, modems, and computers requiring robust serial communication interfaces.
