MAX202ECSE+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ECSE+T 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 EIA/TIA-232E compliance. It supports data rates up to 120kbps with typical receiver propagation delays of 10µs and transmitter delays of 2µs. The component provides ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V power supply without requiring external bipolar voltage sources.
• High electrostatic discharge robustness with ±15kV Human Body Model protection on all RS-232 inputs and outputs.
• Receiver inputs feature guaranteed hysteresis to ensure clean output transitions in noisy environments.
• Driver outputs maintain specified EIA/TIA-232E voltage swings at data rates exceeding 120kbps under standard loading conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low-power serial communication
• Hand-held diagnostic devices
• Portable instrumentation systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'T' corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging rather than tube packaging when sourcing components. Confirm the 'C' suffix indicates the commercial temperature range if operating outside the specified limits. Ensure the supplier source matches the manufacturer documentation provided.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring dual-channel RS-232 communication powered exclusively by a +5V rail. The integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external negative voltage generators. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets system requirements before implementation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply operation. The 'E' designation denotes enhanced ESD protection capabilities compared to standard versions. The 'C' suffix specifies the commercial temperature range, while 'E' would indicate extended industrial ranges.
