Description and Introduction

+5V-Powered, Multichannel RS-232 Drivers/Receivers The MAX232AEPE is a dual driver/receiver manufactured by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). Below are the factual specifications, descriptions, and features from Ic-phoenix technical data files:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated  
- **Part Number:** MAX232AEPE  
- **Type:** Dual RS-232 Driver/Receiver  
- **Package:** 16-Pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package)  
- **Operating Voltage:** +5V  
- **Data Rate:** Up to 120kbps  
- **Number of Drivers:** 2  
- **Number of Receivers:** 2  
- **ESD Protection:** ±15kV (Human Body Model)  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** 0°C to +70°C  
- **Compliance:** Meets EIA/TIA-232-F Standards  

### **Descriptions:**  
- The MAX232AEPE is an RS-232 transceiver that converts TTL/CMOS logic levels to RS-232 voltage levels and vice versa.  
- It includes a capacitive voltage doubler to generate the required RS-232 voltages (±7.5V) from a single +5V supply.  
- Designed for serial communication applications, it is commonly used in microcontroller-to-PC interfaces.  

### **Features:**  
- **On-Chip Charge Pump:** Eliminates the need for external ±12V power supplies.  
- **Low Power Consumption:** Optimized for battery-powered applications.  
- **Enhanced ESD Protection:** Protects against electrostatic discharge up to ±15kV.  
- **Wide Supply Voltage Range:** Operates from a single +5V supply.  
- **Compatible with 3V Logic:** Interfaces with 3V microcontrollers.  
- **Industrial Temperature Option Available:** MAX232AIPE (Industrial Grade, -40°C to +85°C).  

This information is based solely on the manufacturer's datasheet and technical documentation.

Alternative Part Number

  • ICL232CPE --: Pin-compatible dual RS-232 driver/receiver in a 16-pin DIP, widely used as a direct MAX232A substitute with similar electrical characteristics.
  • ST232CN --: Industry-standard MAX232-compatible RS-232 transceiver in DIP-16, same pinout and function, readily available and cost-effective.
  • HIN232CP --: Drop-in MAX232-type dual RS-232 driver/receiver in PDIP-16 with comparable supply voltage and data rate, suitable as a functional replacement.
  • ST232ECN --: Pin-compatible RS-232 transceiver with dual charge pump, functionally equivalent to MAX232A and widely available as a lower-cost drop-in replacement.
  • SP232ECP --: RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pump in PDIP-16, pin-compatible with MAX232A and suitable for 5V serial interface applications.
  • SP232ACP --: Drop-in MAX232A-equivalent RS-232 transceiver in PDIP-16 with comparable driver/receiver performance and pinout.
