MAX202ECPE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ECPE+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates two drivers and two receivers within a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates on a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply, utilizing an internal charge pump to generate the required ±10V levels without external bipolar supplies. It supports data rates up to 120kbps and features high ±15kV ESD protection on all RS-232 ports. The component is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single-supply operation from +5V, eliminating the need for external bipolar power sources.
• High electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection ratings ensure robustness against human body model discharges up to ±15kV.
• Full-duplex architecture provides independent signal paths for transmission and reception via dedicated driver and receiver channels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low-power serial communication
• Hand-held diagnostic tools with frequent port connections
• Portable instrumentation systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPE' corresponds to the Plastic DIP package and commercial temperature grade during sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications defined in the current datasheet revision.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-pin through-hole DIP package is required for board layout constraints. Choose the EC variant over EE variants if the application environment remains within the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. Verify that the system does not require shutdown control pins, as this specific part lacks enable and shutdown functionality.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for harsh environments. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection compared to standard versions. The MAX202ECPE+ specifically utilizes the Plastic DIP form factor, distinguishing it from SOIC or TSSOP variations within the same functional family.
