The MAX3232 device consists of two line drivers, two line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with ± 15-kV
ESD protection pin to pin (serial-port connection pins, including GND). The device meets the requirements of
TIA/EIA-232-F and provides the electrical interface between an asynchronous communication controller and the
serial-port connector. The charge pump and four small external capacitors allow operation from a single 3-V to
5.5-V supply. The devices operate at data signaling rates up to 250 kbit/s and a maximum of 30-V/ µ s driver
output slew rate.
