MAX232DW

The MAX232DW is a dual EIA-232 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. This receiver has a typical threshold of 1.3V, a typical hysteresis of 0.5V and can accept ±30V inputs. Each driver converts TTL/CMOS input levels into TIA/EIA-232-F levels.

• Meets or exceeds TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU recommendation V.28
• Two drivers and two receivers
• 8mA Typical low supply current
• ESD protection exceeds JESD 22
• Green product and no Sb/Br

Applications
