MAX202EEUE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202EEUE+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated, housed in a 16-pin TSSOP package. It operates on a +4.5V to +5.5V supply with typical current consumption of 15mA. The device features two drivers and two receivers supporting full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120kbps. It includes an integrated charge pump for generating ±10V levels without external bipolar supplies. The component provides ±15kV ESD protection via the Human Body Model and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for external bipolar voltage sources.
• High electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV (Human Body Model) ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Drivers and receivers meet EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications for standard RS-232 signaling.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low component count
• Hand-held diagnostic tools
• Portable instrumentation systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EEUE+ corresponds to the TSSOP-16 package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor declarations prior to integration into production designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available and high ESD immunity is required. Ensure external 0.1μF capacitors are used for the charge pump circuit as specified in the datasheet. Consider alternative packages if board space constraints differ from the TSSOP form factor.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection compared to standard versions. The 'UE' suffix specifies the 16-pin Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), distinguishing it from SOIC or DIP variants within the same electrical family.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other MAX202E variants in different packages, such as MAX202ECSE (Narrow SO) or MAX202EEWE (Wide SO), provided the package footprint matches the design requirements.
