MAX3232ESE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232ESE is a surface-mount RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from 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 250kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. It features 2 drivers and 2 receivers, with 500mV of receiver hysteresis. The device is housed in a compact 16-SOIC package and is designed for operation in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.

 

Key features include a low supply current of 1µA in shutdown mode when the receiver is active, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. The MAX3232ESE is ideal for battery-powered equipment, hand-held devices, peripherals, and datacom equipment where reliable RS-232 communication is required.
