MAX1406CPE

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX1406CPE is a ±15kV ESD-protected, EMC-compliant RS-232 transceiver featuring three transmitters and three receivers. It operates on a +4.5V to +5.5V VCC supply and ±10.8V to ±13.2V dual supplies (VDD/VSS). The device guarantees data rates up to 230kbps with a typical propagation delay of 4µs and a slew rate of 4V/µs. Supply currents are typically 185mA for IDD and ISS, and 240mA for ICC at 230kbps. It functions within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Enhanced electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV Human Body Model and ±8kV IEC1000-4-2 Contact Discharge.
• Pin and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MC145406 for direct design upgrades.
• Flow-through pinout architecture supporting telecommunications, modem, and printer applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Telecommunications equipment
• Modems
• Printers
• Instruments meeting IEC1000-4-2 standards

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE' corresponds to the commercial temperature range and 16-pin Plastic DIP package configuration. Confirm that the ordering information matches the required voltage specifications and environmental ratings before finalizing procurement decisions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when upgrading existing MC145406 designs to meet stringent European EMC requirements without changing the PCB layout. Ensure the application requires three independent RS-232 channels and can accommodate the necessary external charge pump capacitors for the dual power supplies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX1406 series includes variants such as the MAX1406EPE for extended industrial temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and surface-mount options like the MAX1406CWE. The CPE designation specifically identifies the commercial grade version housed in a standard through-hole plastic dual-in-line package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX1406 is designed as a drop-in replacement for the Motorola MC145406 due to identical pinouts and functionality. Verify that the target system supports the MAX1406's specific supply voltage ranges and current consumption profiles during replacement.
