MAX3232IDW Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3232IDW from Texas Instruments is a full-duplex, dual-channel RS-232 transceiver IC. It is designed to provide the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial port connector, meeting TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards.

 

This transceiver operates with a wide supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and supports data signaling rates up to 250kbps. A key feature is its robust ESD protection, exceeding +/-15 kV using the human-body model (HBM) on its serial port terminals. The device requires four small external capacitors for its dual charge-pump circuit, enabling single-supply operation.

 

Packaged in a 16-pin SOIC (DW) with surface mount capability, the MAX3232IDW is suitable for various industrial and commercial applications. It operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it a reliable choice for demanding environments. The low supply current of typically 300 µA further enhances its suitability for power-sensitive designs.
