MAX211CAI+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX211CAI+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring an integrated charge pump for single-supply operation. It provides four drivers and five receivers, supporting data rates up to 120kbps with external 0.1µF capacitors. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and utilizes a 28-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates the need for bipolar ±12V supplies
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current to typical 5µW
• TTL/CMOS compatible inputs with internal pullup resistors

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Handheld devices
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'C' suffix indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and the 'AI' suffix denotes the 28-pin shrink small-outline package. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when board space is limited due to its compact SSOP footprint. Ensure the application requires four drivers and five receivers. Verify that the system power supply is strictly +5V, as the integrated charge pump does not support higher input voltages.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common architecture but differ in driver/receiver counts and specific control features like ring indicator monitoring found in other family members.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX211EAI+ offers identical functionality with an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Other family members like MAX200 or MAX202 provide different channel configurations.
