MAX202ECUE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ECUE+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two drivers and two receivers operating at data rates up to 120kbps. The device requires four external 0.1μF capacitors for its integrated charge pump, which generates the necessary ±10V supply rails from a single +4.5V to +5.5V VCC input. It provides ±15kV ESD protection on driver outputs and receiver inputs per the Human Body Model. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for an external bipolar power supply.
• High electrostatic discharge protection ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Tight receiver input thresholds allow compatibility with TTL and CMOS logic levels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Hand-held devices
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'C' confirms the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range and 'U' indicates the TSSOP package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when a single +5V supply is available and board space savings are required due to the compact TSSOP package. Ensure the application does not require low-power shutdown modes, as the MAX202E lacks enable or shutdown control pins.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares the same functional architecture as other members but differs in pin count, capacitor requirements, and specific feature sets like shutdown capabilities found in variants such as the MAX211E.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The ADM202JRNZ is a verified substitute offering similar functionality with lower typical supply current (6mA vs 15mA). Verify pinout compatibility and ensure the replacement supports the required 120kbps data rate and ESD protection levels.
