Product Summary

The MAX232ECSE is a ±15kV ESD-protected, +5V RS-232 transceiver. It is designed for RS-232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. The various combinations of features are outlined in the Selector Guide. The drivers and receivers for the MAX232ECSE meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification. The applications of the MAX232ECSE include Notebook, Subnotebook, and Palmtop Computers, Battery-Powered Equipment, Hand-Held Equipment.
