Description:

• Maxim Integrated developed the MAX232CPE+, a twin RS-232-line driver/receiver.
• It transforms TTL-logic levels to RS-232 levels and vice versa and runs on a single 5V supply.
• Dual Driver/Receiver: Converts signals from TTL to RS-232.
• Low Power Consumption: Because of its low power dissipation in shutdown mode, it is appropriate for battery-powered devices.
• High Data Rate: Supports communication speeds of up to 120 kbps.
• Standard Compliance: Meets all EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 requirements.
• This IC is often used in applications that require serial communication between microcontrollers and RS-232 devices such as modems and serial ports.
