MAX232CPE

The MAX232CPE is designed as one kind of +5 V-powered, multichannel RS-232 drivers/receiver that can be used in (1)portable computers; (2)low-power modems; (3)interface translation; (4)battery-powered RS-232 systems; (5)multidrop RS-232 networks. And this device is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5W.

Features of MAX232CPE are:(1)operate from single +5V power supply (+5V and +12V); (2)low-power receive mode in shutdown; (3)meet all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28 specifications; (4)multiple drivers and receivers; (5)3-state driver and receiver outputs; (6)open-line detection.

The absolute maximum ratings of the MAX232CPE can be summarized as:(1)VCC: -0.3 V to +6 V;(2)V+: (VCC-0.3 V) to +14 V;(3)V-: -14 V to +0.3 V;(4)Short-Circuit Duration, T_OUT: Continuous;(5)Storage Temperature Range: -65°C to +165°C;(6)Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec): Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec);(7)Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to +70°C.

The electrical characteristics of the MAX232CPE can be summarized as:(1)Output Voltage Swing: ±5 or ±8 V;(2)Input Logic Threshold Low: 1.4 to 0.8 V;(3)Data Rate: 200 to 116 kb/s;(4)Transmitter Output Resistance: 300 to 10M ;(5)Output Short-Circuit Current: ±7 to ±22 mA;(6)RS-232 Input Voltage Operating Range: ±30 V;(7)TTL/CMOS Output Voltage Low: 0.2 to 0.4 V;(8)TTL/CMOS Output Voltage High: 3.5 to VCC-0.2 V.
