MAX207ECNG+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207ECNG+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver from the MAX207E family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates five drivers and three receivers within a 24-pin Plastic DIP package. The device operates on a single +5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V) utilizing internal charge-pump circuitry, eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies. It supports data rates up to 120kbps with a typical propagation delay of 10µs. The component provides ±15kV ESD protection via the Human Body Model and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates high ±15kV HBM ESD protection on driver outputs and receiver inputs for robust operation in harsh environments.
• Features integrated charge-pump circuitry that enables single +5V supply operation without requiring external bipolar voltage sources.
• Provides full-duplex communication capability with five independent drivers and three receivers for complex serial interface designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring efficient power management
• Hand-held diagnostic tools and portable instrumentation
• Portable computers and mobile communication devices

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) compared to the extended range variant. Confirm the 'N' designation corresponds to the 24-pin Plastic DIP package format. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for standard DIP-24 components before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit channels and three receive channels are required in a single package. It is suitable for applications needing ±15kV ESD protection and single-supply operation. Compare against the MAX207EEAG+T if an extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) or SSOP packaging is necessary instead of the commercial grade DIP option.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common architecture features such as integrated charge pumps and ESD protection. The MAX207E specifically distinguishes itself by offering a higher count of drivers relative to receivers, catering to multi-port serial communication needs within compact form factors.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX207EEAG+T serves as a direct functional substitute, offering identical electrical specifications but housed in a 24-SSOP package with an extended temperature range. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal requirements when transitioning between the Plastic DIP and SSOP variants.
