Product Summary

The MAX232CSE+ line driver/receiver is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E communication interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. The part of the MAX232CSE+ is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. The MAX232CSE+ uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.

Parametrics

MAX232CSE+ absolute maximum ratings: (1)Supply Voltage (VCC): -0.3V to +6V; (2)V+: (VCC - 0.3V) to +14V; (3)V-: +0.3V to +14V; (4)Input Voltages TIN: -0.3V to (VCC - 0.3V); (5)RIN: ±30V; (6)RIN: ±25V; (7)TOUT (Except MAX220): 15V; (8)TOUT: 13.2V; (9)Output Voltages; (10)TOUT: ±15V; (11)ROUT: -0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V); (12)Driver/Receiver Output Short Circuited to GND: Continuous; (13)Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70℃) 16-Pin Plastic DIP (derate 10.53mW/℃ above +70℃): 842mW.
