MAX232X Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments MAX232X is a versatile dual driver and receiver IC that facilitates EIA-232-F communication. It operates efficiently from a single 5V power supply, utilizing 1.0-µF charge-pump capacitors. This device supports data rates of up to 120 kbit/s, making it suitable for various serial communication applications.

 

Each receiver in the MAX232X converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels, featuring a typical threshold of 1.3V and 0.5V hysteresis, with the capability to accept ±30V inputs. Conversely, each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels. The device exhibits a low supply current of 8 mA typical and provides ESD protection exceeding 2000V Human-Body Model.

 

Available in multiple package options including SOIC, PDIP, and SOP, the MAX232X is designed for integration into battery-powered systems, terminals, modems, and computers requiring reliable serial data transmission.
