MAX206EEWG+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX206EEWG+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected, +5V RS-232 transceiver from the MAX202E–MAX213E family. It features four drivers and three receivers for full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120kbps. The device operates on a single +5V supply using integrated charge-pump circuitry with four external 0.1μF capacitors. It includes low-power shutdown mode reducing current to 1μA typical. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. Supply voltage is 4.5V to 5.5V. Typical supply current is 20mA. Package is SOIC-24.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated high ±15kV HBM ESD protection on driver outputs and receiver inputs
• Single +5V supply operation enabled by internal charge pump circuitry
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to typically 1μA
• TTL/CMOS compatible logic levels with guaranteed tight input thresholds

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Hand-held devices needing robust ESD protection
• Portable diagnostics equipment operating in harsh environments

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWG+' corresponds to the wide SOIC-24 package and industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) as documented in the official Analog Devices datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation. Ensure ordering matches the exact part number to guarantee correct pinout and electrical characteristics.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring four transmit channels and three receive channels. The integrated ESD protection eliminates the need for external protection components. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +85°C operating range. Ensure sufficient board space for the required four 0.1μF external capacitors for the charge pump.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX206E belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. This family provides various combinations of drivers and receivers. The MAX206E specifically offers four drivers and three receivers. It shares the same core architecture and ESD protection features as other members like the MAX202E and MAX208E.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX206CNG+ is a pin-compatible alternative in a different package (PDIP-Narrow-24). The ADM206ARZ is a similar function but lacks ESD protection and has lower supply current. Verify package compatibility and temperature range before substitution.
