MAX202EEWE-T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202EEWE-T is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates two drivers and two receivers within a single 16-SOIC package, supporting data rates up to 120 kb/s. The device operates on a single +5V supply with a voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and consumes 15 mA of operating current. It features 15 kV ESD protection and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component lacks a shutdown mode and utilizes internal charge pumps for voltage generation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated dual driver and dual receiver architecture for full-duplex communication
• High electrostatic discharge protection rated at 15 kV
• Single +5V power supply operation without external shutdown control

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• RS-232 serial communication interfaces
• Modem connections
• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal integrity

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the 'E' designation aligns with industrial temperature specifications (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with 16-SOIC footprint requirements during procurement planning.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring standard RS-232 signaling with high ESD tolerance. Verify that the 120 kb/s data rate meets system requirements. Consider the 16-SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints compared to narrow SOIC variants.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E series of +5V RS-232 transceivers. It serves as a widely used interface solution for converting TTL/CMOS levels to RS-232 voltages. The EEWE variant specifically denotes the wide-body SOIC package suitable for general-purpose surface mount assembly.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX202EESE+T offers identical electrical performance in a narrow SOIC package. MAX202CWE+ provides similar functionality but may differ in capacitor requirements or pinout configurations.
