Product overview
Overview
Description
The MAX3232 device consists of two line drivers, two line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15-kV ESD protection terminal to terminal (serial-port connection terminals, including GND).
The device meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector.
The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow operation from a single 3-V to 5.5-V supply.
The devices operate at data signaling rates up to 250 kbit/s and a maximum of 30-V/μs driver output slew rate
Features
• RS-232 Bus-terminal esd protection exceeds±15 kV using human-body model (HBM)
• Meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards
• Operates with 3-V to 5.5-V VCC supply
• Operates up to 250 kbit/s
• Two drivers and two receivers
• Low supply current: 300 μA Typical
• External capacitors: 4 × 0.1 μF
• Accepts 5-V logic input with 3.3-V supply
• Alternative high-speed terminal-compatible devices (1 Mbit/s)– SN65C3232 (–40°C to 85°C)– SN75C3232 (0°C to 70°C) Applications
• Industrial PCs
• Wired networking
