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 with VCC at +4.5V to +5.5V, VDD at +10.8V to +13.2V, and VSS at -10.8V to -13.2V. The device guarantees data rates up to 230kbps with a typical ICC of 1mA and IDD/ISS of 0.5mA. It provides ±15kV Human Body Model and ±8kV IEC1000-4-2 Contact Discharge protection. Packaged in a 16-pin Plastic DIP for the C-grade variant, it supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE+' against official documentation to confirm the 16-pin Plastic DIP package and commercial temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing MC145406 designs if pin-for-pin replacement is required. Confirm that the component meets the necessary EMC compliance standards for the target application environment.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring robust ESD protection without external components. It serves as a direct drop-in replacement for MC145406 designs. Verify that the system power supplies can provide the required dual voltage rails for optimal RS-232 signal integrity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1406 family of RS-232 interface ICs designed for European EMC requirements. The 'C' designation indicates the commercial temperature grade, while 'PE' specifies the 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It is engineered for applications needing high reliability against static discharge events during handling and operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX1406 is pin and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MC145406. Existing designs utilizing the MC145406 can be upgraded to meet EMC standards by substituting this component directly.
