MAX232E Datasheet (Texas Instruments) - Dual RS-232 Driver and Receiver

MAX232E, Dual RS-232 Driver and Receiver

The MAX232E is a dual driver and receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply RS232-F compliant voltage levels from a single 5-V supply.

Each receiver converts RS-232 inputs to 5-V TTL/CMOS levels.

This receiver has a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5 V, and
