Product description
3.0V to 5.5V, Low-Power, True RS-232 Transceiver Using Four 0.1µF External Capacitors
The MAX3232 tranceiver has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS-232 performance form a 3.0V to 5.5V supply with a dual charge pump. The devices require only four small 0.1uF external charge-pump capacitors.
The MAX3232 is guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels.
Features
* 2 receivers and 2 drivers
* 1uA shutdown mod that reduces power consumption and extends battery life in portable systems.
* Low supply current: 300uA
* Guaranteed data rate: 120kbps
* Meets EIA/TIA-232 Specifications Down to 3.0V
* Pin compatible with Industry-Standard MAX232
* Guaranteed slew rate: 6V/us
Applications
* Notebook, Subnotebook, and Palmtop Computers
* High-Speed Modems
* Battery-Powered Equipment
* Hand-Held Equipment
* Peripherals
* Printers
