MAX207IDB

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207IDB is a multichannel RS-232 line driver and receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single 5-V supply and includes internal charge pumps to generate the necessary voltages for RS-232 signal levels. The device features five drivers and three receivers, supporting full-duplex communication with a data rate of up to 120 kb/s. It provides 15-kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all RS-232 lines. The component is housed in an SSOP-28 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pumps eliminate the need for external capacitors in standard configurations.
• Robust ESD protection rated at ±15 kV on all RS-232 transceiver lines.
• Single-supply operation simplifies power design for embedded systems.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication.
• Modem interfaces in telecommunications equipment.
• Point-of-sale terminals and barcode scanners.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure the SSOP-28 package variant matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific batch if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a multichannel RS-232 solution is required with high ESD immunity. Compare driver/receiver counts against system needs; alternatives may offer different channel combinations. Consider thermal performance and operating voltage stability within the specified industrial temperature range during circuit design.
