MAX232CPE DIP-16 ,+5V Powered Dual RS-232 Driver/Receiver - 120 kbps Data Rate

The MAX232CPE is a +5V-powered, dual-channel RS-232 driver/receiver IC, ideal for EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, where +12V is not available. This IC operates with low power dissipation, making it highly suitable for battery-powered systems. With an operating range of 0°C to +70°C and the ability to support data rates up to 120 kbps, the MAX232CPE provides reliable RS-232 communication with low external component requirements.

Key Features :

• Dual RS-232 Channels: Two transmitters and two receivers for full-duplex communication.
• 5V Powered: Operates on a single +5V supply, reducing the need for multiple voltage levels.
• Low Power Dissipation: Designed for low-power systems, with a shutdown mode consuming less than 5uW.
• External Capacitors: Requires only four external 0.1uF capacitors for proper operation.
• High Data Rate: Supports communication speeds up to 120 kbps.
• Standard DIP-16 Package: Easy-to-use dual in-line package for quick integration in designs.
