MAX207IDW

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207IDW is a Texas Instruments RS-232 transceiver featuring five drivers and three receivers in a 24-pin SOIC package. It supports full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120 kb/s with a propagation delay of 2 µs. Operating on a single 5 V supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V), it draws 20 mA quiescent current and delivers 10 mA output current. The device operates from -40°C to +85°C, lacks shutdown functionality, and includes ESD protection for reliable serial interface applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates five independent drivers and three receivers for comprehensive multi-line RS-232 connectivity
• Provides full-duplex signal transmission without requiring external charge pumps or additional power supplies
• Incorporates internal ESD protection mechanisms to safeguard against electrostatic discharge events

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust serial communication links
• Data acquisition equipment utilizing multiple RS-232 peripheral connections
• Embedded computing platforms needing high-density serial interface solutions

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDW confirms the SOIC-24 surface-mount package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Ensure the operating temperature range meets system requirements. Validate pinout compatibility during schematic integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions for any functional updates.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit and three receive channels are required simultaneously. Choose over alternatives if a standard 5V logic interface is preferred without external voltage conversion. Consider the SOIC-24 footprint constraints during PCB layout planning. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified industrial temperature range.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX207 series of RS-232 transceivers designed for multi-channel applications. It serves as a legacy interface solution for systems requiring multiple serial ports. The device complements lower-channel-count variants like the MAX202 by providing expanded I/O capabilities in a compact integrated circuit form factor.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the ADM207EARUZ from Analog Devices Inc., which offers equivalent 5-driver/3-receiver functionality.
