MAX207EEAG+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207EEAG+T is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates on 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 functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables operation from a single +5V power source without requiring external dual-voltage supplies.
• Robust ±15kV ESD protection on all RS-232 inputs and outputs ensures reliability in harsh environments.
• Five independent drivers and three receivers provide flexible interface configurations for complex serial communication systems.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring low-power serial connectivity
• Hand-held diagnostic tools and portable instrumentation
• Industrial control systems with frequent cable connection changes

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AG' corresponds to the SSOP-24 package and lead-free composition when sourcing. Confirm the 'E' designation indicates the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) rather than the commercial grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 24-SSOP form factor during procurement planning.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit channels and three receive channels are required within a single IC. It is suitable for designs needing robust ESD immunity without additional protection components. Consider alternatives if shutdown functionality or higher data rates beyond 120kbps are necessary, as this specific variant lacks those features.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of single-supply RS-232 transceivers. It shares the same core architecture and pinout compatibility regarding the charge pump requirements as other members like the MAX206E and MAX208E, differing primarily in the number of drivers and receivers provided.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX207ECWG+ serves as a direct functional replacement in a SOIC-24 package. Verify that the target application can accommodate the different physical footprint and thermal characteristics associated with the SOIC versus SSOP packaging.
