The MAX3232CPE has a proprietary low-dropout transmitter stage enabling true RS232 performance from 3V to 5.5Vdc supplies. The internal power supply consists of a regulated dual charge pump that produces output voltages of 5.5V and -5.5V from an input voltage range of 3V to 5.5V. Requiring only four 0.1microF external capacitors for use with the charge pump circuitry the device is guaranteed to run at data rates of 120kps while maintaining RS232 output levels. The MAX3232CPE has two receivers and two drivers and is ideal for 3.3V systems mixed 3.3V5V systems or 5V systems that require true RS232 performance. The device consumes only 250microA has a 4Vmicros slew rate and is pin and functionally compatible with the industry standard MAX232. Applications include computers notebooks palmtops battery powered equipment hand-held equipment and peripherals. Supplied in an 18-pin DIL package.
The MAX233 is a 2-line driverreceiver IC intended for all EIATIA-232E and V.28V.24 communication interfaces especially where no plusmn12V supply is available. The device includes on-board voltage convertors that require no external capacitors which makes the IC suitable for battery-powered systems and applications where PCB space is critical. Data transfer rate is 120kbps.

A dual RS-232 receivertransmitter that meets all the EIA RS-232C specifications while requiring only a single 5V supply. This significantly simplifies system design by removing the need to provide power supply voltages other than 5V. The IC has two on-board charge pump voltage convertors which generate 10V and -10V power supplies from the single 5V supply.The IC contains four level translators two of which convert TTLCMOS input levels into plusmn9V RS-232 outputs ready for transmission and two of which convert RS-232 inputs to 5V TTLCMOS levels. The receivers have a nominal threshold of 1.3V a typical hysteresis of 0.5V and can operate with up to plusmn30V inputs.

The MAX202 transceiver is designed for RS232 and V.28 communication interfaces where a plusmn12V supply is not available. On-board charge pumps convert the 5V input to the plusmn10V needed for RS232 output levels. The drivers and receivers meet all EIATIA-232E and CCITTV.28 specifications at a data rate of 20kbitssec. The device requires just four external capacitors to provide the voltage conversion. Supplied in a 16-pin DIL package MAX202CPE.
