MAX232DR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The MAX232DR can support data rates up to 120 kbps, but it's recommended to limit the data rate to 19.2 kbps for reliable operation.

  • Yes, the MAX232DR can operate with a supply voltage as low as 2.7V, but the output voltage swing will be reduced. For 3.3V operation, the output voltage swing will be around 5V.

  • The MAX232DR requires a 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ pull-up resistor on the output pins (TOUT and RIN) to ensure proper termination. The value of the resistor depends on the specific application and the cable length.

  • Yes, the MAX232DR is commonly used in USB-to-RS232 adapters. However, the adapter's design and layout can affect the MAX232DR's performance, so ensure that the adapter is designed and built with proper signal integrity and EMI considerations.

  • The MAX232DR can support cable lengths up to 50 feet (15.24 meters) at a data rate of 19.2 kbps. However, the actual cable length supported depends on the specific application, cable quality, and data rate.
