MAX232 DUAL UART TO RS232 CONVERTER, 120kbps

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. Each driver converts TTL/ CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.

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
