Product Summary

The max232ese is a +5V-powered, multichannel RS-232 driver/receiver. The max232ese is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since the low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. Applications of the max232ese include: Portable Computers, Low-Power Modems, Interface Translation, Battery-Powered RS-232 Systems and Multidrop RS-232 Networks.

Parametrics

max232ese absolute maximum ratings: (1) Supply Voltage (VCC) : -0.3 to +6V; (2) V+: (Vcc-0.3V) to +14V; (3) V-: +0.3 to +14V; (4) Input Voltages TIN: -0.3V to (Vcc -0.3V) , RIN: ±30V, TOUT: ±13.2V; (5) Driver/Receiver Output Short Circuited to GND: Continuous; (6) Storage Temperature Range: -65 to +160°C; (7) Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) : +300°C.
