MAX3232CWE+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232CWE+ is a transceiver IC from Analog Devices, designed for RS-232 communication. It features a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage, enabling true RS-232 performance from a wide single supply voltage range of +3V to +5.5V. This device requires only four small 0.1µF external charge-pump capacitors, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply.

 

This specific model, the MAX3232CWE+, has 2 receivers and 2 drivers and operates at data rates up to 235Kbps. It is housed in a 16-SOIC package and is designed for surface mount applications. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

 

Key features include integrated charge pump circuitry, wide single-supply operation, and power-saving capabilities. In shutdown mode with the receiver active, the supply current is a mere 1µA. These characteristics make it suitable for applications such as battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, peripherals, and datacom equipment where board space and power efficiency are critical design considerations.
