I use a MAX3232 for driving the RS232 line but it uses a charge pump that places a sawtooth wave on the power rail. Do all line drivers use charge pumps? Is there a better choice? (logic is 3.3v)
 

hi
can U use rs485 instate of 232 it's look like better in noise

Can you post your schematic and measured waveforms? Are you using decoupling capacitors?
