Product Summary

The MAX232ACSE is a line driver/receiver. It is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. The MAX232ACSE is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since its low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. The MAX232ACSE uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical. The applications of the MAX232ACSE include Portable Computers, Low-Power Modems, Interface Translation, Battery-Powered RS-232 Systems, Multidrop RS-232 Networks.
