MAX206EAG+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX206EAG+T is a +5V RS-232 transceiver from the Analog Devices/MAXIM MAX200-MAX213 family, designed for single-supply operation. It integrates four drivers and three receivers with an internal charge pump that generates ±10V from a +5V input, eliminating external bipolar supplies. The device supports data rates exceeding 120kbps and features a low-power shutdown mode consuming 5μW. It operates within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 24-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single +5V supply operation without requiring external bipolar voltage sources.
• Low-power shutdown mode significantly reduces current consumption for battery-powered applications.
• High ESD protection rating ensures robust performance against electrostatic discharge events.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Handheld devices
• Portable diagnostic equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific ordering suffixes that may affect packaging or temperature ratings. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation for quality assurance purposes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring four transmit and three receive channels on a single +5V rail. The integrated charge pump simplifies board layout by removing bulky external capacitors needed for voltage inversion. Consider the 24-pin SSOP footprint for space-constrained portable designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX213 series of +5V RS-232 transceivers. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX208 (four drivers/four receivers) and MAX207 (five drivers/three receivers). The 'E' suffix denotes the extended industrial temperature range, while 'A' indicates lead-free/RoHS compliance.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX208EEAG+T offers identical pinout and functionality but includes four receivers instead of three. The MAX207EEAG+T provides five drivers but lacks shutdown control. Verify electrical specifications and package dimensions before substitution.
