MAX207ECAG+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207ECAG+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices (Maxim Integrated). It operates from a +5V supply and includes an integrated charge pump to generate the required ±10V levels, eliminating external bipolar supplies. The device features five drivers and three receivers with full-duplex communication capability. It supports data rates up to 120kbps and provides ±15kV ESD protection on all RS-232 lines. The component is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single +5V supply operation without requiring external bipolar voltage sources.
• High electrostatic discharge protection ratings ensure robust performance in harsh environments or frequent connection scenarios.
• Receiver inputs feature tight logic thresholds that allow compatibility with both TTL and CMOS logic levels alongside standard RS-232 signals.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low power consumption
• Hand-held diagnostic tools
• Portable instrumentation systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C against the official datasheet. Confirm the 'A' suffix corresponds to the SOIC-24 package type. Ensure the '+T' or standard tube packaging matches the design requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with the authorized distributor catalog to confirm current availability status.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a high pin-count interface with five drivers and three receivers is necessary. The integrated charge pump simplifies board layout by removing the need for dual polarity power rails. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets the system's throughput requirements. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified commercial temperature limits.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares the same core architecture as other members like the MAX208E but offers a distinct driver-to-receiver ratio. The family is characterized by its ruggedized E-version inputs and simplified single-supply operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The ADM207EARZ serves as a functional equivalent offering similar specifications. Note that the ADM207EARZ supports higher data rates up to 230kbps and operates over a wider industrial temperature range compared to the MAX207ECAG+. Pinout compatibility should be verified before substitution.
