MAX1406EWE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX1406EWE+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected, EMC-compliant RS-232 transceiver featuring three transmitters and three receivers. It operates with VCC between +4.5V and +5.5V, VDD from +10.8V to +13.2V, and VSS from -10.8V to -13.2V. The device guarantees data rates up to 230kbps with a typical supply current of less than 1mA for ICC. It provides enhanced ESD protection rated at ±15kV (Human Body Model), ±8kV (IEC Contact Discharge), and ±15kV (IEC Air-Gap Discharge). Packaged in a 16-pin Wide SO format, it functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Enhanced electrostatic discharge protection on all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs without latchup during events
• Pin and functionally compatible with the industry-standard MC145406 for direct design upgrades
• Guaranteed high-speed data transmission up to 230kbps under worst-case load conditions
• Flow-through pinout architecture simplifies PCB layout and signal routing

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWE+' corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and the 16-pin Wide SO package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring robust ESD immunity compliant with European community standards. Ensure the application supports the required dual positive/negative supply voltages and utilizes flow-through pinout compatibility if replacing legacy MC145406 designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX1406 series of RS-232 interface ICs. It is specifically engineered to address stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements while maintaining backward compatibility with established industry-standard pinouts for easy integration into existing hardware architectures.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX1406 is explicitly designed as a drop-in replacement for the MC145406 due to identical pin and functional compatibility. Verify that any substitute maintains the same ±15kV ESD protection ratings and guaranteed 230kbps data rate specifications.
