Texas Instruments MAX232I
the MAX202 device 2 Applications • TIA/EIA-232-F • Battery-powered systems • Terminals • Modems • Computers 3 Description The MAX232 device is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply TIA/ EIA-232-F voltage levels from a single 5V supply. Each receiver converts TIA/EIA-232-F inputs to 5V TTL/CMOS levels. These receivers have a typical threshold of 1.3 V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5V, and can accept ±30V inputs.FEATURES
● Meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU recommendation V.28● Operates from a single 5V power supply with 1µF charge-pump capacitors
● Operates up to 120kbit/s
● Two drivers and two receivers
● ±30V Input levels
● Low supply current: 8mA typical
● ESD protection exceeds JESD 22 – 2000V Human-body model (A114-A)
● Upgrade with improved ESD (15kV HBM) and 0.1µF charge-pump capacitors is available with Each driver converts TTL/ CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.
