Texas Instruments Line Transceiver Dual Channel Driver & Receiver 3V-5.5V 16-Pin TSSOP MAX3232IPWR

Texas Instruments MAX3232IPWR is a highly reliable line transceiver IC designed for dual channel driver and receiver applications, operating from a single supply voltage between 3V and 5.5V. Housed in a compact 16-pin TSSOP surface mount package, it is ideal for seamless RS-232 level signal interfacing.

This transceiver is engineered to meet or exceed the requirements of the TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU v.28 communication standards. The device incorporates ESD protection up to ±15 kV Human-Body Model and ±8 kV Contact Discharge, making it robust for industrial and commercial environments.

The IC features low power consumption characterized by a supply current of 1mA and offers reliable data transmission with a maximum propagation delay of 300μs at the specified capacitive load. Its single-ended input type facilitates accurate signal reception while supporting output drive currents of up to ±1.6mA for low and high output levels respectively.

Operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for a variety of environmental conditions encountered in industrial, commercial, and laboratory electronic applications. The compact footprint (5.1 mm x 4.5 mm x 1.2 mm) and surface mount technology enable efficient PCB layout and automated assembly.

Common applications include RS-232 line driver and receiver circuits in computing equipment, industrial controllers, communication devices, and instrumentation systems. The MAX3232IPWR aids in efficient serial communication by converting signals to appropriate levels compatible with standard logic circuitry.
