MAX232N Programmable IC Chips DUAL EIA-232 DRIVER/RECEIVER
MAX232, MAX232I DUAL EIA-232 DRIVER/RECEIVER
description
The MAX232 device is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply EIA-232 voltage levels from a single 5-V supply. Each receiver converts EIA-232 inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V and a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and can accept ±30-V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into EIA-232 levels. The driver, receiver, and voltage-generator functions are available as cells in the Texas Instruments LinASIC library. The MAX232 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The MAX232I is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C. A
