MAX207CAG+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207CAG+T is a fully integrated RS-232 transceiver designed for single +5V supply operation. It features five drivers and three receivers, utilizing an internal charge pump to generate the required ±10V levels from external 0.1µF capacitors. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. It is housed in a 24-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates charge-pump circuitry to eliminate the need for bipolar ±12V supplies
• Provides five drivers and three receivers for full RS-232 communication
• Operates on a single +5V power source with minimal external components

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Handheld devices with limited board space
• Portable diagnostic equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) against the datasheet. Confirm the '+T' designation corresponds to tape-and-reel packaging if reel quantity is required for assembly. Ensure the component matches the 24-SSOP footprint.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when five transmit channels and three receive channels are necessary. It is suitable for applications where board space is constrained due to the compact SSOP package. Verify that the system requires a single +5V supply rather than dual rails.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX200–MAX209 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. It shares the same core architecture as other members like the MAX206 and MAX208 but differs in the number of integrated drivers and receivers. The family is characterized by its ability to operate without external voltage regulators.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX206CAG+T offers four drivers and three receivers. The MAX208EEAG+T provides four drivers and four receivers. Both share similar pinouts and functionality within the MAX200 series.
