MAX207CAG+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207CAG+ is a fully compliant RS-232 transceiver from the Analog Devices/MAXIM family, designed for single +5V supply operation. It integrates five drivers and three receivers within a 24-pin SSOP package. The device utilizes an internal charge pump to generate ±10V levels from the single supply, requiring only four external 0.1µF capacitors. It supports data rates exceeding 120kbps while maintaining EIA/TIA-232E output signal levels. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates dual charge-pump voltage converters to eliminate the need for bipolar ±12V supplies
• Provides five driver outputs and three receiver inputs in a compact 24-pin SSOP footprint
• Maintains guaranteed ±5V minimum output levels under worst-case loading conditions
• Features TTL/CMOS compatible input thresholds with approximately 0.5V hysteresis on receivers

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring reduced board space
• Handheld devices utilizing single-supply architectures
• Portable diagnostic equipment with limited circuit board area

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CAG+' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package type and temperature rating. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required commercial operating range and physical dimensions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires multiple transmitter and receiver channels without shutdown control functionality. It is suitable for applications where board space is constrained but standard RS-232 signaling is necessary. Verify that the system power supply remains stable at +5V to ensure proper charge pump operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 series of RS-232 transceivers. Unlike variants such as the MAX203 or MAX205, it requires external capacitors. It differs from the MAX211 by lacking a shutdown pin, making it appropriate for always-on serial communication interfaces.
