Product Summary

The MAX232CSE is a line driver/receiver. The MAX232CSE is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V28/V24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5μW. The MAX232CSE uses no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.
