MAX232DR DUAL LINE TRANSCEIVER RS-232 5V 16 PIN
Description:
- Texas Instruments invented the MAX232DR, a dual-line transceiver principally used for RS-232 serial communication.
- This IC is well-known for its dependability and efficiency in translating signals between RS-232 and TTL voltage levels.
- The MAX232DR supports bidirectional data transmission in serial communication systems.
- It has two drivers and two receivers, allowing for full-duplex communication, which is required in many computer and networking applications.
- Voltage Conversion: Transforms TTL/CMOS logic levels into RS-232 standard levels and vice versa.
- Power Supply: Runs on a single 5V supply.
- Integrated Charge Pump: Generates the necessary RS-232 voltage levels from a 5V supply, eliminating the need for two power supplies.
- High Data Rate: Supports data speeds of up to 120 kbps.
- 16-Pin SOIC Package: Compact and designed for surface-mount applications.
