Product Summary

The MAX232ECWE is a line driver/receiver. It is designed for RS-232 and V.28 communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. The MAX232ECWE is available in 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP packages. The applications of the MAX232ECWE include: Notebook, Subnotebook, and Palmtop Computers, Battery-Powered Equipment, Hand-Held Equipment.
