MAX202ESE+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ESE+T is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features two drivers and two receivers within a 16-pin SOIC package. The device operates on a single +5V supply, utilizing an integrated charge pump to generate the necessary internal voltages. It supports data rates up to 120kbps with ±5V output signal levels under load. The operating temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C. Electrical characteristics include a typical power-supply current of 15mA at VCC = +5V and a propagation delay of 10µs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V supply without requiring bipolar voltage sources.
• Drivers maintain specified EIA/TIA-232E output signal levels at data rates exceeding 120kbps when properly loaded.
• Receiver inputs feature guaranteed thresholds that are tighter than standard specifications, improving noise margins for TTL/CMOS compatibility.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official datasheets to confirm pinout alignment and electrical parameters. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and packaging format. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor listings to validate authenticity and revision history before integration into production designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring dual-channel RS-232 communication powered by a single +5V rail. It is suitable where board space savings are prioritized over external capacitor counts found in other variants. Consider the specific package dimensions and thermal dissipation limits relative to the intended enclosure design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200–MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common architecture including integrated charge pumps and CMOS/TTL compatible inputs. The MAX202 variant specifically provides two drivers and two receivers, distinguishing it from single-driver or multi-driver siblings in the series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include MAX202CSE+ and MAX202EWE+. Verify package compatibility and temperature range specifications when selecting alternatives from other manufacturers.
