MAX207ECAG+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207ECAG+T is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a +5V supply and includes an integrated charge pump to generate the required ±10V levels, eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies. The device features five drivers and three receivers, supporting data rates up to 120kbps. It provides high electrostatic discharge protection of ±15kV via the Human Body Model. The component is housed in a 24-pin SSOP package and is rated for an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V supply without requiring external bipolar voltage sources.
• High electrostatic discharge protection on driver outputs and receiver inputs ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Receiver inputs feature guaranteed logic thresholds that are tighter than standard specifications, allowing compatibility with TTL/CMOS logic levels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Hand-held equipment
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ECAG' against official documentation to confirm the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and SSOP package type. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics defined in the MAX202E-MAX241E datasheet before finalizing procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires multiple transmit channels alongside fewer receive channels within a compact surface-mount footprint. The absence of shutdown control distinguishes it from other family members like the MAX206E or MAX211E. Verify that the application does not require low-power standby modes, as this variant lacks enable or shutdown pins.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply applications. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection compared to standard versions. The MAX207E specifically offers a 5-driver and 3-receiver configuration, providing flexibility for complex serial communication interfaces where more transmission paths are needed than reception paths.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Analog Devices ADM207EARUZ is a confirmed substitute offering identical 5-driver and 3-receiver functionality within the same RS-232 interface category.
