JAJST53D April 2006 – February 2024 MAX232E
PRODUCTION DATA
The MAX232E is a dual driver and receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator using four capacitors to supply TIA/EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5V supply. All RS-232 pins have 15kV HBM and IEC61000-4-2 Air-Gap discharge protection. RS-232 pins also have 8kV IEC61000-4-2 contact discharge protection. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have shorted and open fail safe. The receiver can accept up to ±30V inputs and decode inputs as low as ±3 V. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels. Outputs are protected against shorts to ground.
