MAX232I - Dual EIA-232 Drivers/Receivers

Download the MAX232I datasheet PDF. This datasheet also covers the MAX232 variant, as both devices belong to the same dual eia-232 drivers/receivers family and are provided as variant models within a single manufacturer datasheet.

General 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.

Key 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 the MAX202 device 2 Appl.
