The MAX3232EIM/TR with SOP-16 RS232 ICs manufactured by HGSEMI is an integrated circuit designed for use in applications that require data transmission between different digital systems. This IC integrates functions such as a 6-value logic level converter, 3.0V to 5.5V logic level conversion, and a 3-transmitter, 6-times receiver serial output driver circuit. As it is specifically designed for use in RS232 applications, it offers superior noise immunity and a wide range of supply voltage. Additionally, this RoHS compliant IC also features an enhanced Sleep Mode current of <1µA and faster data rates of up to 250Kbps. It is available in an easy to use 16-pin SOP package, and can be easily integrated into any system requiring data transmission.
