MAX202IDG4

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX202IDG4 is a dual RS-232 line driver and receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for 5-V power supplies. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports data rates up to 120 kb/s. The device features two drivers and two receivers in a full-duplex configuration. It is housed in a 16-pin SOIC-Narrow package with surface-mount installation. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, drawing a typical operating supply current of 15 mA.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated ESD protection rated at ±15 kV on all RS-232 lines.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial communication systems requiring robust serial interfaces.
• Portable battery-powered equipment utilizing single 5-V supplies.
• Modems and portable instruments needing reliable RS-232 connectivity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG4' indicates lead-free compliance and RoHS adherence as per Texas Instruments documentation. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure the ordering information aligns with the manufacturer's current product change notifications to avoid discrepancies in material composition or pinout definitions during procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-channel RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge pumps is required for 5-V systems. The SOIC-16 package suits applications with moderate pin count constraints. Verify that the 120 kb/s data rate meets system timing requirements. Consider the ±15-kV ESD rating for environments with high electrostatic discharge risk compared to standard interface ICs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202 family of RS-232 transceivers. The 'D' suffix denotes the SOIC-16 package variant, while 'G4' signifies lead-free construction compliant with RoHS standards. It serves as a direct replacement for older non-compliant versions within the same functional family, maintaining identical electrical characteristics and pinouts.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX202IDRE4 is a verified reel-pack equivalent offering identical electrical specifications and functionality. Both parts share the same SOIC-16 package and performance parameters, allowing for interchangeability based on packaging preference without circuit redesign.
