The MAX3232 series products are a set of 3V to 5.5V multi-channel RS-232 line drivers and receivers integrated circuits, designed for TIA/EIA-232-F and V.28 communication interface standards, enhancing the flexibility and reliability of device interconnections.

The MAX3232 series allows bidirectional conversion between RS-232 signal levels and TTL/CMOS levels, ensuring smooth data exchange between computers, sensors, and other electronic devices. Whether in medical equipment, industrial automation, or consumer electronics, the MAX3232 series plays a crucial role. It offers high-speed, reliable data transmission, enabling older computers to communicate with the latest hardware.


In the industrial automation sector, the MAX3232 series can manage data transfer between sensors, controllers, and human-machine interfaces (HMI). Its robustness and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection ensure stable operation in harsh industrial environments. As automobiles advance towards smarter and more automated systems, efficient data exchange for diagnostics, monitoring, and entertainment systems becomes essential. The high reliability of the MAX3232 contributes to a more intelligent and safer driving experience.


Product Features:

RS-232 bus pin electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection exceeding ±15 kV, using the Human Body Model (HBM)

Meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards

Operates with a 3V to 5.5V VCC power supply

Maximum transmission rate of 250 kbit/s

Two drivers and two receivers

Low supply current: typical value of 300 μA

External capacitors: 4×0.1 μF

Accepts 5V logic input at 3.3V supply

Offers high-speed terminal-compatible replacements (1 Mbit/s) - SN65C3232 (–40°C to 85°C) - SN75C3232 (0°C to 70°C)


Special Notes:

The MAX3232 devices include two line drivers, two line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ±15 kV ESD protection on the serial port connection pins (including GND). These devices comply with TIA/EIA-232F standards and provide the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the serial-port connector. The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow the device to operate from a single 3V to 5.5V power supply. These devices can run at data signaling rates up to 250 kbit/s, with driver output slew rates limited to a maximum of 30 V/μs.
