MAX202EEWE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202EEWE+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two drivers and two receivers operating on a single +4.5V to +5.5V supply via an integrated charge pump. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps with ±15kV ESD protection (HBM). It utilizes a 16-pin Wide SOIC package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for external bipolar power supplies, enabling operation from a single +5V source.
• High electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV Human Body Model ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Receiver inputs feature approximately 0.5V hysteresis to provide clean output transitions despite signal noise or ringing.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Hand-held diagnostic tools
• Portable instrumentation systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EW' corresponds to the wide SOIC package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 compliance standards as indicated in official documentation. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact manufacturer part number to avoid pinout discrepancies associated with different package styles.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust ESD protection without additional discrete components. The wide SOIC package offers distinct thermal and mechanical characteristics compared to narrow variants. Verify capacitor requirements, as this model typically requires external 0.1μF capacitors for the charge pump circuitry.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection capabilities. The 'W' suffix specifically denotes the wide SOIC package format, distinguishing it from narrow SOIC or TSSOP alternatives within the same electrical specification set.
