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
This device has limited built-in ESD protection, leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
