The MAX232ACUE can support data rates up to 120kbps, but it's recommended to limit the data rate to 19.2kbps for reliable operation.
Yes, the MAX232ACUE can operate with a supply voltage as low as 3V, but the output voltage swing will be reduced, which may affect the signal quality.
The MAX232ACUE requires a proper power-up sequence, where VCC should be applied before the input signals. Also, the device requires a minimum of 100ms to power up and stabilize.
The 0.1uF capacitors connected to the VCC pin are decoupling capacitors that help to filter out noise and ensure a stable power supply to the device.
No, the MAX232ACUE is designed for point-to-point RS-232 connections only. It's not suitable for multi-point connections, as it may cause signal contention and data corruption.
