MAX232CSE

UMW · RS232 ICs · SOP-16

MAX232CSE from UMW, in a SOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1+ passive Positive terminal of the first charge-pump capacitor (C1), connected between C1+ and C1-.
2 V+ power_out Positive charge-pump output, generated at about +2 VCC for the RS-232 driver supply.
3 C1- passive Negative terminal of the first charge-pump capacitor (C1), connected between C1+ and C1-.
4 C2+ passive Positive terminal of the second charge-pump capacitor (C2), connected between C2+ and C2-.
5 C2- passive Negative terminal of the second charge-pump capacitor (C2), connected between C2+ and C2-.
6 V- power_out Negative charge-pump output, generated at about -2 VCC for the RS-232 driver supply.
7 T2OUT output RS-232 driver 2 output, which drives the RS-232 line; the absolute maximum transmitter output voltage is listed as V- to V+ in the ratings table.
8 R2IN input RS-232 receiver 2 input, accepting RS-232 levels with the receiver input voltage range of ±30 V in the ratings table.
9 R2OUT output RS-232 receiver 2 output, providing TTL/CMOS logic levels to the controller.
10 T2IN input TTL/CMOS input to RS-232 driver 2, which is referenced to VCC and sets the T2OUT state.
11 T1IN input TTL/CMOS input to RS-232 driver 1, which is referenced to VCC and sets the T1OUT state.
12 R1OUT output RS-232 receiver 1 output, providing TTL/CMOS logic levels to the controller.
13 R1IN input RS-232 receiver 1 input, accepting RS-232 levels with the receiver input voltage range of ±30 V in the ratings table.
14 T1OUT output RS-232 driver 1 output, which drives the RS-232 line; the absolute maximum transmitter output voltage is listed as V- to V+ in the ratings table.
15 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage input, 4.5 V to 5.5 V (5 V nominal).
