The MAX3232CUE+T is a low-power, true RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated). It operates from a single 3.0V to 5.5V supply and features two drivers and two receivers for full-duplex communication. The device utilizes an internal dual charge pump requiring only four 0.1µF external capacitors to generate the necessary ±5.5V levels. It guarantees data rates up to 120kbps with worst-case loads, typically supporting 235kbps. The component is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package and is designed for battery-powered and handheld equipment.
Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 'C' designation aligns with the required commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. Ensure the '+'' suffix confirms lead-free compliance for assembly processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity.
Select this component for designs requiring standard RS-232 signaling with minimal external components. It is suitable for systems powered by 3.3V or 5V logic families. Consider alternative variants if higher data rates or additional driver/receiver channels are needed. Verify that the TSSOP package dimensions fit the available PCB space constraints.
This device belongs to the MAX3222/MAX3232/MAX3237/MAX3241 family of low-voltage RS-232 transceivers. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy MAX232 devices while offering improved power efficiency and wider operating voltage ranges. The MAX3232 variant specifically provides two drivers and two receivers within a compact footprint.
The SN65C3232 and SN75C3232 are confirmed pin-compatible alternatives.
