Product Summary

The MAX232EPE+ is a line driver/receiver which is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where +2V is not available. These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5uA. The MAX232EPE+ use no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.
