Product Summary

The MAX3232CUE transceiver has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage enabling true RS-232 performance from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply with a dual charge pump. The device requires only four small 0.1μF external chargepump capacitors. The MAX3232CUE is guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kbps while maintaining RS-232 output levels. It has 2 receivers and 2 drivers.
