The MAX3232CSE-T is a True RS-232 Transceiver manufactured by Maxim Integrated, designed for reliable serial communication. It operates from a wide single supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply thanks to its integrated dual charge pump circuitry.
This transceiver supports data rates of up to 120kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. The MAX3222/MAX3232 series, including this part, features 2 receivers and 2 drivers. It is available in space-saving TSSOP and SSOP packages, suitable for surface mount applications.
Key features include low power consumption, with only 1µA supply current in shutdown mode when the receiver is active. The devices also offer always-on extra outputs for monitoring external devices without forward biasing protection diodes. Applications include battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, peripherals, and datacom equipment.
