MAX205EEPG+G36

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX205EEPG+G36 is a ±15kV ESD-protected, 5V RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features five drivers and five receivers in a 24-pin wide PDIP package. The device operates on a single +5V supply with integrated charge pump circuitry that eliminates the need for external capacitors. It supports data rates up to 120kbps and includes low-power shutdown mode. The component meets EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated high ±15kV HBM ESD protection for driver outputs and receiver inputs
• Internal charge-pump circuitry eliminates the need for external capacitors
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current significantly
• Single +5V supply operation without requiring bipolar ±12V supplies

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Hand-held equipment
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix G36 against official documentation to confirm lead-free status and environmental compliance. Confirm availability as this specific variant may be discontinued or subject to change. Ensure the PDIP-24 package matches the target PCB footprint requirements before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five independent RS-232 channels are required in a single package. The integrated capacitors simplify board layout compared to variants requiring external components. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets system timing requirements and that the 24-pin DIP package fits the mechanical constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares the core architecture with other devices in the series but is distinguished by its five-driver/five-receiver configuration and internal charge-pump capacitors. The 'E' designation indicates extended temperature range capabilities.
