MAX3232CSE+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232CSE+ is a full duplex transceiver from Analog Devices Inc., designed for RS232 communication. It operates from a single 3.0V to 5.5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply due to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

This device features 2 drivers and 2 receivers, with a data rate of up to 235Kbps. It has a receiver hysteresis of 300 mV. The MAX3232CSE+ is suitable for applications requiring RS232 communication, such as battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, and peripherals.

 

The transceiver is available in a 16-SOIC package and is designed for surface mount applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The device also offers a low supply current of 1µA in shutdown mode while the receiver is active, contributing to power saving in battery-operated systems.
