MAX207ECWG

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207ECWG+ 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 (Human Body Model) on all RS-232 inputs and outputs. The component is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation within a 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 ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection ensures robustness against static discharges on RS-232 lines.
• Five drivers and three receivers provide flexible interface configurations for standard RS-232 communication.
• Compliance with EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications guarantees reliable signal transmission at specified data rates.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low-power serial communication
• Hand-held devices with limited power budgets
• Portable diagnostics equipment needing ruggedized interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CWG+' corresponds to the commercial temperature range and SOIC-24 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates before procurement. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics defined in the datasheet to prevent integration errors.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require multiple transmit and receive channels within a single IC. The integrated charge pump simplifies board layout by removing the need for dual-voltage power rails. Consider the ±15kV ESD rating for environments prone to static discharge. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate meets the application's throughput requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX207ECWG+ belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. This family shares common architecture, including the integrated charge pump and ESD protection structures. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection capabilities compared to standard versions. The 'C' suffix typically denotes the commercial temperature range, while 'W' indicates surface-mount packaging.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX207IDWR from Texas Instruments offers similar functionality with five drivers and three receivers. Verify compatibility regarding pinout, operating voltage, and ESD protection levels before substitution. Other members of the MAX202E-MAX213E family may serve as alternatives if driver/receiver counts differ.
