– ±15 kV (HBM)
– ±8 kV (IEC61000-4-2, Contact discharge)
– ±15 kV (IEC61000-4-2, Air-gap discharge)
Meets or exceeds the requirements of TIA/
EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 standards
Operates with 3-V to 5.5-V VCC supply
Operates up to 250 kbit/s
Two drivers and two receivers
Low supply current: 300 μA (typical)
External capacitors: 4 × 0.1 μF
Accepts 5-V logic input with 3.3-V supply
Pin compatible to alternative high-speed devices
(1 Mbit/s)
– SN65C3232E (–40°C to +85°C)
– SN75C3232E (0°C to 70°C)
The device meets the requirements of TIA/EIA-232F 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/μs
driver output slew rate.

Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings do not imply
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.
If used outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not be fully
functional, and this may affect device reliability, functionality, performance, and shorten the device lifetime

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The MAX3232E device consists of two line drivers, two-line receivers, and a dual charge-pump circuit with
IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection terminal to terminal (serial-port connection terminals, 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 device operates at data signaling rates up to 250 kbit/s
and a maximum of 30-V/μs driver output slew rate. Outputs are protected against shorts to ground.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Power
The power block increases, inverts, and regulates voltage at V+ and V– pins using a charge pump that requires
four external capacitors.
8.3.2 RS232 Driver
Two drivers interface standard logic level to RS232 levels. Both DIN inputs must be valid high or low.
8.3.3 RS232 Receiver
Two receivers interface RS232 levels to standard logic levels. An open input will result in a high output on ROUT.
Each RIN input includes an internal standard RS232 load.

9 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
For proper operation, add capacitors as shown in Table 9-1.
9.2 Typical Application
ROUT and DIN connect to UART or general-purpose logic lines. RIN and DOUT lines connect to a RS232
connector or cable.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
The recommended VCC is 3.3 V or 5 V. 3 V to 5.5 V is also possible
The maximum recommended bit rate is 250 kbit/s.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
All DIN inputs must be connected to valid low or high logic levels.
Select capacitor values based on VCC level for best performance.
9.2.3 Application Curve
Voltage (V)
Figure 9-2 curves are for 3.3-V VCC and 250-kbit/s alternative bit data stream.

12.4 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled
with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of
