MAX232IDR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · SOIC-16

MAX232IDR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1+ passive Positive lead of C1 capacitor; 1µF external capacitor required for charge pump circuit
2 VS+ power_out Positive charge pump output for storage capacitor only; approximately +10V at 5V supply input
3 C1- passive Negative lead of C1 capacitor; 1µF external capacitor required for charge pump circuit
4 C2+ passive Positive lead of C2 capacitor; 1µF external capacitor required for charge pump circuit
5 C2- passive Negative lead of C2 capacitor; 1µF external capacitor required for charge pump circuit
6 VS- power_out Negative charge pump output for storage capacitor only; approximately -10V at 5V supply input
7 T2OUT output RS232 line data output (to remote RS232 system); outputs ±5V to ±7V with 3kΩ load resistance
8 R2IN input RS232 line data input (from remote RS232 system); accepts ±30V input levels with 1.3V typical threshold
9 R2OUT output Logic data output (to UART); outputs from 0V to VCC logic levels
10 T2IN input Logic data input (from UART); accepts TTL/CMOS input levels 0.8V to 2V
11 T1IN input Logic data input (from UART); accepts TTL/CMOS input levels 0.8V to 2V
12 R1OUT output Logic data output (to UART); outputs from 0V to VCC logic levels
13 R1IN input RS232 line data input (from remote RS232 system); accepts ±30V input levels with 1.3V typical threshold
14 T1OUT output RS232 line data output (to remote RS232 system); outputs ±5V to ±7V with 3kΩ load resistance
15 GND power_in Ground; 0V reference for all logic and supply circuits
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage input; connect to external 4.5V to 5.5V power supply with 5V nominal recommended
