MAX3232CWE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232CWE is a surface-mount RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates from a wide single supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply due to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

 

This transceiver supports data rates up to 120Kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. It features 2 drivers and 2 receivers, with receiver hysteresis of 300 mV. The device is designed for applications requiring RS-232 communication, such as battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, and peripherals.

 

The MAX3232CWE is packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) case and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

 

Key features include its wide single-supply operation, integrated charge pump, and a compact 16-SOIC package, simplifying board design and saving space. It is suitable for various datacom equipment and peripheral interfaces.
