MAX232 Serial Programming Driver/Receiver SMD IC
The MAX232 is a dual-channel serial communication driver/receiver IC designed to bridge TTL/CMOS logic levels with RS-232 standards. Available in an SMD package, this IC is widely used for enabling serial communication between devices like microcontrollers and computers or peripherals. It operates with a single 5V supply, eliminating the need for complex power arrangements. The MAX232 integrates a charge pump circuit that generates the necessary positive and negative voltage levels for RS-232 communication directly from the 5V supply, eliminating external dual power supplies. It features two independent drivers and two receivers, supporting full-duplex communication with a typical data rate of 120kbps. This IC is highly reliable, offering robust protection such as ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) tolerance to safeguard against electrical transients. Its low power consumption makes it suitable for both portable and stationary applications.
Features:-
- Low power consumption
- Easy to set up and initialize
- Compact and Easy Integration
- Integrated High ±15kV HBM ESD Protection
