The MAX232AESE+T can support data rates up to 120 kbps.
Yes, the MAX232AESE+T can be used in a multi-point application, but it is not recommended as it is designed for point-to-point communication.
To ensure proper termination, a 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ resistor should be connected between the TOUT and GND pins, and a 1 μF capacitor should be connected between the VIN and GND pins.
The recommended power-up sequence is to apply power to the VCC pin first, followed by the VIN pin.
Yes, the MAX232AESE+T has built-in noise immunity and can operate in noisy environments, but it's still recommended to use proper shielding and grounding techniques to minimize noise.
