MAX232CSE RS-232 Interface IC – SOIC-16, Dual Driver/Receiver

The MAX232CSE RS-232 Interface IC is a widely used RS-232 interface IC designed for reliable serial communication between TTL logic and RS-232 standard signals. It integrates dual drivers and dual receivers with a built-in charge pump, eliminating the need for external components to generate RS-232 voltage levels. Packaged in a SOIC-16 narrow package, the MAX232CSE provides a compact and cost-effective solution for serial communication in computers, microcontrollers, modems, and embedded systems. Known for its low power consumption and stable operation, it is a popular choice in both hobby and industrial electronics. Features: Dual driver/receiver RS-232 interface IC Converts TTL logic levels to RS-232 standard and vice versa Built-in charge pump with external capacitors Low power consumption and stable operation Industry-standard MAX232 family compatibility Compact SOIC-16 narrow package Widely used in microcontroller communication, modems, and serial devices Specifications: Model: MAX232CSE Function: Dual RS-232 driver/receiver Package Type: SOIC-16 Narrow Operating Voltage: 4.5V – 5.5V Data Rate: Up to 120 kbps Receiver Input Voltage Range: ±30V Driver Output Voltage: ±9V typical (with charge pump) Operating Temperature: 0°C to 70°C Applications: RS-232 communication, microcontrollers, computers, modems, embedded systems Package Includes: 1 x MAX232CSE RS-232 Interface IC (SOIC-16)
