The MAX3232 is a dual driver/receiver IC designed for RS-232 communication. It operates over a wider voltage range than the standard MAX232, making it suitable for both 3 V and 5 V systems. The IC includes a charge pump that generates RS-232 voltage levels from a single power supply. The MAX3232 offers low power consumption and features ESD protection on all RS-232 inputs and outputs. It is available in a compact SOP-16 SMD package, which is ideal for space-limited designs.
