MAX202ESE

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ESE is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5V supply using an integrated charge pump to generate internal ±10V rails, eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies. The device contains two drivers and two receivers with a maximum data rate of 120kbps. It utilizes a 16-pin Narrow SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V power source without requiring external dual-polarity supplies.
• Drivers maintain specified EIA/TIA-232E output signal levels at data rates exceeding 120kbps under standard loading conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Handheld equipment
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ESE' corresponds to the 16-pin Narrow SOIC package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates prior to procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 16-pin surface-mount solution is required for RS-232 communication. Ensure the application design accommodates four external 0.1µF capacitors for the charge pump circuit. Verify that the 120kbps data rate meets system requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX202ESE belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. This series integrates voltage converters and drivers/receivers into a single IC. The MAX202 variant specifically provides two drivers and two receivers in a 16-pin configuration.
