MAX200EWP+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX200EWP+ is a +5V-powered RS-232 transceiver featuring five drivers and no receivers, designed for single-supply operation. It utilizes an integrated charge pump to generate ±10V from a +5V input, eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies or additional capacitors beyond those required by the specific variant configuration. The device supports data rates exceeding 120kbps and includes a low-power shutdown mode with configurable TTL/CMOS three-state outputs. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, it is housed in a 20-pin Wide SO package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single +5V supply operation without requiring bipolar power sources.
• Features five independent RS-232 drivers for multi-channel communication applications.
• Includes a low-power shutdown mode that reduces supply current significantly while maintaining control over driver states.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Handheld devices with limited board space constraints
• Portable diagnostics equipment needing multiple serial channels

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 20-pin Wide SO format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the supplier's documentation prior to integration into production assemblies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit channels are required without receiving functionality. Compare against variants like the MAX201 if receiver inputs are necessary. Consider the MAX203 or MAX205 if zero external capacitors are preferred for space savings. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the shutdown mode specifications provided in the electrical characteristics table.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common internal architecture including dual charge pumps and TTL/CMOS compatible inputs. The MAX200 specifically distinguishes itself by offering five drivers, whereas other family members may offer different combinations of drivers and receivers or varying pin counts.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the MAX200CPP (Plastic DIP) and MAX200EPP (Plastic DIP). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution. No direct cross-model functional equivalents with identical driver/receiver counts are listed in the provided selector guide.
