General Description
          The MAX3232 device consists of two line drivers, two line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15-kV ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, 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.
