Product Summary

The MAX232DR line driver/receiver is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V28/V24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. The MAX232DR uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.

Parametrics

MAX232DR 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; (5)TIN: -0.3V to (VCC - 0.3V); (6)RIN (Except MAX220): ±30V; (7)RIN (MAX220): ±25V; (8)TOUT (Except MAX220): ±15V; (9)TOUT (MAX220): ±13.2V; (10)Output Voltages; (11)TOUT: ±15V; (12)ROUT: -0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V); (13)Driver/Receiver Output Short Circuited to GND: Continuous; (14)Storage Temperature Range: -65℃ to +160℃; (15)Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s): +300℃.
