MAX200CWP+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX200CWP+ is a +5V-powered RS-232 transceiver featuring five drivers and zero receivers. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, supporting data rates up to 120kbps with a typical propagation delay of 10µs. The device includes integrated charge pump circuitry requiring four external 0.1µF capacitors for ±10V generation. It offers low-power shutdown mode with current consumption as low as 1µA. The component is housed in a 20-pin Wide SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates dual charge-pump voltage converters to generate internal ±10V rails from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for external bipolar power sources.
• Features five TTL/CMOS-compatible drivers with internal pullup resistors that force outputs low when inputs are unconnected or driven high.
• Includes a dedicated shutdown control pin that disables charge pumps and transmitter outputs to minimize power consumption during idle periods.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life through low-power shutdown modes.
• Handheld devices and portable diagnostic tools where board space and power efficiency are critical constraints.
• Industrial communication systems utilizing EIA/TIA-232E asynchronous interfaces.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CWP+' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact 20-pin Wide SOIC package dimensions required by the design. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires multiple transmit channels without receiving capabilities. The absence of receivers distinguishes it from standard transceivers like the MAX202. Verify that the application can accommodate the four external 0.1µF capacitors required for the charge pump operation. Confirm that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets the system timing requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers manufactured by Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated). The family shares common architecture but varies in driver/receiver counts and package options. The MAX200 specifically provides five drivers for multi-drop transmission scenarios.
