MAX211CDB

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX211CDB is an RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for multi-channel communication applications. It integrates four drivers and five receivers within a single package to support full-duplex data transmission. The device operates on a single 5V power supply with a maximum voltage of 5.5V and a minimum of 4.5V. It supports data rates up to 120 kb/s and features a shutdown mode to reduce power consumption. The component functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 28-pin SOIC package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates four drivers and five receivers for comprehensive multi-line interface capabilities
• Supports full-duplex communication with standard RS-232 signal levels
• Includes a dedicated shutdown pin to minimize power consumption during idle periods

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust serial communication
• Data acquisition equipment interfacing with PC-based controllers
• Embedded systems utilizing multiple RS-232 peripheral connections

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DB' corresponds to the 28-pin SOIC package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor declarations prior to integration. Ensure the selected supplier provides valid traceability records for quality assurance purposes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits that require multiple independent RS-232 channels without increasing board space. Consider the 120 kb/s speed limit against higher-speed alternatives if data throughput requirements exceed this threshold. Evaluate the 28-pin footprint constraints against available PCB real estate during the layout phase.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX213 family of RS-232 transceivers, sharing similar functional architectures but differing in pin counts and channel configurations. The MAX211 series specifically targets applications needing fewer drivers than the MAX213 while maintaining compatibility with standard RS-232 protocols and power supply requirements.
