MAX207EEWG

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207EEWG+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a +5V supply and features five drivers and three receivers, supporting full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120kbps. The device incorporates an integrated charge pump requiring four external 0.1μF capacitors to generate the necessary ±10V levels for RS-232 signaling. It provides ±15kV ESD protection on driver outputs and receiver inputs per the Human Body Model. The component is housed in a 24-pin SOIC package and supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated high ±15kV HBM ESD protection on RS-232 I/O pins
• Single +5V supply operation via internal charge pump circuitry
• TTL/CMOS compatible logic input and output thresholds

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWG+' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the package type (SOIC) and temperature grade (Industrial). Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the official documentation. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics required for the design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when five transmit channels and three receive channels are required within a single IC. The EE suffix indicates suitability for extended industrial temperatures compared to EC variants. Verify that the application does not require a shutdown mode, as the MAX207E lacks control pins for power-down functionality.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX207E belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. This family shares common architecture including the charge pump voltage converter and driver/receiver sections. The MAX207E specifically differentiates itself by offering a 5-driver and 3-receiver configuration, distinct from the 2x2 or 4x4 layouts found in other members like the MAX202E or MAX208E.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX207ECWG+ serves as a commercial-grade alternative with a 0°C to +70°C range. The MAX207EEAG+ offers the same electrical specifications but utilizes a 24-pin SSOP package instead of SOIC.
