The MAX3232ID is an integrated circuit (IC) from Texas Instruments that provides an RS-232 interface for converting signals between digital devices and the asynchronous serial communication. It features three differential line drivers and five receivers, allowing for multiple channels of communication. The device also supports an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and operates from a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V. Furthermore, the IC offers low-power shutdown mode, fast data rates, and a high degree of ESD protection. The MAX3232ID is suitable for low power data communications between devices using RS-232, including point-of-sale, portable instrumentation, modems, and other embedded control applications.
