MAX204EPE+ is listed in the Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Its product description is IC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The MAX204EPE+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and no receivers, designed for single-supply operation. It integrates charge-pump circuitry to generate ±10V from a +5V input, eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies. The device operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum data rate of 120kbps, typical supply current of 15mA, and output voltage swings of ±8V under nominal load conditions.
Verify the specific suffix EPE indicates the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and Plastic DIP packaging configuration. Confirm that the component matches the required pinout for the 16-pin DIP footprint. Ensure compatibility with the intended PCB layout regarding capacitor placement for the integrated charge pump circuitry.
Select this component when only transmitter functionality is required for RS-232 communication. The absence of receivers distinguishes it from other family members like the MAX202. Verify that the application does not require receiver outputs during shutdown mode, as all outputs are disabled in this state. Consider the 120kbps data rate limit for high-speed interface requirements.
This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These components share common architecture including integrated charge pumps and similar control logic. The MAX204 specifically provides four drivers without receivers, offering a specialized solution for transmit-only applications within the broader series.
