Product Summary

The MAX232ACSE is a 5V-powered multichannel driver. Its applications include Portable Computers
Low-Power Modems, Interface Translation, Battery-Powered RS-232 Systems, Multidrop RS-232 Networks. It is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5µW.
