MAX202ID

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202ID is a dual RS-232 line driver and receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply using an internal charge pump circuit requiring only four external capacitors. The device provides two drivers and two receivers for full-duplex communication with data rates up to 120kbps. It features ±9V output swings and includes ±15kV ESD protection on all pins. The component is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and supports industrial temperature ranges.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates need for external voltage inversion
• Provides robust ±15kV electrostatic discharge protection across all signal pins
• Ensures reliable serial communication through compliance with TIA/EIA-232-F standards

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Connecting asynchronous controllers to serial port connectors
• Industrial equipment requiring isolated serial communication links
• Embedded systems utilizing standard RS-232 interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm temperature range and packaging type. Confirm current production status as variants may be obsolete. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints before sourcing. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any parameter updates.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single 5V supply is available and low external capacitance is required. Compare against MAX232 variants if higher data rates or different pin configurations are needed. Verify that the 120kbps speed meets system requirements. Check package availability for surface mount assembly needs.
