MAX202ECSE+G068

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ECSE+ 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 narrow SOIC package. The device operates on a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply, utilizing an internal charge pump to generate the required ±10V levels for RS-232 signaling 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 commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single +5V supply operation
• High ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection on RS-232 inputs and outputs
• Full compliance with EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications
• CMOS/TTL compatible logic input thresholds

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Hand-held diagnostic tools
• Portable communication devices

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G068' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel variant or packaging change, as standard datasheets typically list 'MAX202ECSE+'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and ensure the ordering information matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics defined in the current revision of the MAX202E datasheet.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require robust ESD protection for frequently connected serial ports. The integrated charge pump simplifies board layout by eliminating the need for dual polarity power supplies. Ensure the application environment remains within the 0°C to +70°C operating range specified for the EC series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection capabilities compared to standard versions. The 'C' suffix specifies the commercial temperature grade, while 'SE' identifies the 16-pin narrow small-outline package format used for surface-mount assembly.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents include the ADM202EARNZ and ADM202EARUZ from Analog Devices. These parts offer similar RS-232 functionality but may differ in package type (SOIC vs TSSOP) or specific electrical parameters such as propagation delay.
