MAX203EEWP+TG36

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX203EEWP+TG36 is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5V supply and features integrated charge-pump circuitry with internal capacitors, eliminating the need for external components. The device provides two drivers and two receivers supporting full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120kbps. It includes ±15kV ESD protection on all RS-232 inputs and outputs. The component is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TG36 against official documentation to confirm lead-free status and tape-and-reel packaging details. Confirm current production status as some variants may be discontinued. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact pinout and electrical specifications required for the design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when board space savings from integrated capacitors are critical. It is suitable for applications requiring robust ESD protection without additional discrete components. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets system requirements. Consider the 20-pin SOIC package constraints during layout.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common architecture including integrated charge pumps and ESD protection. The MAX203E variant specifically distinguishes itself by integrating the charge-pump capacitors internally, reducing the external component count compared to other family members like the MAX202E.
