Maxim MAX232 (560-018)
General Description
The MAX232CPE is an RS-232 driver/receiver intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V 28/V 24 communications interfaces, and in particular, for those applications where a +12V is not available.
The MAX232CPE is particularly useful in Battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5uW.
Applications
Portable computers.
Low-power modems
Interface translation.
Battery-powered RS-232 systems.
Multi-drop RS-232 Systems.
