MAX208CNG+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX208CNG+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and three receivers. It operates with a single supply voltage of 5V, utilizing an integrated charge pump to generate the required ±10V internal levels. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and includes a shutdown mode for power reduction. It is housed in a 24-pin Narrow Plastic DIP package and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for external bipolar supplies
• Supports full-duplex communication at data rates exceeding 120kbps
• Includes low-power shutdown mode to minimize current consumption

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring single-supply operation
• Handheld devices with limited board space
• Portable diagnostic equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices prior to procurement. Ensure the specific ordering suffix matches the required package type and temperature grade for the intended application environment.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when four transmit lines and three receive lines are required on a single +5V rail. Compare against the MAX206 if only three drivers are needed, or the MAX207 if four receivers are necessary. Verify that the 24-pin narrow DIP footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209 family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply applications. The 'C' suffix indicates the commercial temperature range, while 'N' denotes the narrow plastic DIP package. The '+' suffix signifies lead-free and RoHS-compliant manufacturing standards.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX208CNG is a direct functional equivalent. ADM208ANZ offers similar specifications but lacks ESD protection features found in some Maxim variants.
