MAX207IDWR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX207IDWR is an RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 24-SOIC package. It integrates five drivers and three receivers for full-duplex communication with a data rate of 120 kb/s. Operating on a single 5 V supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V), it draws 20 mA of quiescent current and delivers 10 mA output current. The device features ESD protection and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Propagation delay is specified at 2 µs, supporting standard single-ended RS-232 signaling without a shutdown function.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates five independent drivers and three receivers for multi-line serial communication
• Provides built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for signal lines
• Operates from a single 5 V power supply without requiring negative voltage generation

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial equipment requiring robust RS-232 connectivity
• Point-of-sale (POS) terminals and cash registers
• Medical instrumentation with serial data interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'IDWR' confirms the SOIC-24 package and tape-and-reel shipping format. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation. Ensure the operating temperature grade matches industrial requirements (-40°C to +85°C). Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with Texas Instruments to avoid counterfeit components.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when five transmit channels and three receive channels are required simultaneously. The 120 kb/s speed suits low-to-medium baud rate applications. Verify that the 24-pin SOIC footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider the absence of a shutdown pin if power management during idle states is necessary.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX207 series of RS-232 transceivers. It is designed for applications needing multiple serial ports on a single chip. The IDWR suffix indicates surface-mount packaging in a reel format. It serves as a direct interface between microprocessors and RS-232 compliant devices.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX207IDE or MAX207IDR variants which share identical electrical specifications but differ in packaging or shipping quantity. Verify pin compatibility before substitution.
