MAX232CWE+T Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

●The MAX232CWE+T is a +5V powered multichannel RS232 driver/receiver in 16 pin WSOIC package. This device is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces. It is particularly suitable for applications where ±12V is not available. The MAX232 has four sections such as dual charge pump DC to DC voltage converter, RS232 driver, RS232 receiver and receiver/transmitter enable control inputs. The integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V supply and enables single supply operation from +5V supply. It is used in interface translation and multidrop RS232 network applications.

● Supply voltage range from 4.5V to 5.5V

● Operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C

● Two RS232 drivers and two RS232 receivers

● Saves board space

● Data rate of 120Kbps

● Transition slew rate is 4V/µs (CL = 50pF to 2500pF, RL = 3Kohm to 7Kohm)

● VCC supply current of 5mA with no load
