Frequently asked questions
What is the price of MAX232IN RS-232 Driver/Receiver IC DIP-16 in Egypt?
MAX232IN RS-232 Driver/Receiver IC DIP-16 currently costs 25 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy MAX232IN RS-232 Driver/Receiver IC DIP-16 in Egypt?
MAX232IN RS-232 Driver/Receiver IC DIP-16 is available from RAM Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Does the MAX232IN need external components?
Yes. Its internal charge pump needs external capacitors, typically four as shown in the standard datasheet circuit, to generate the RS-232 voltage levels.
Can I use it with a 3.3 V board such as an ESP32?
Use caution. The MAX232 is designed for 5 V logic, and its outputs swing toward the 5 V supply, which can exceed the limits of 3.3 V boards. Use a level shifter or a 3.3 V-compatible RS-232 transceiver for those boards.
