MAX232CSE+T

Drivers

RS232Transceiver5V

The MAX232CSE+T is a standard dual RS-232 transceiver IC, widely used for converting logic-level signals to RS-232 voltage levels in 5V systems.

Best for

  • RS-232 serial communication
  • 5V logic systems

Avoid if

  • Low-voltage (3.3V) systems without level shifting
  • High-speed data requirements exceeding RS-232 limits

Check before use

  • External capacitor requirements for the charge pump
