MAX211ECWI

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX211ECWI+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates four drivers and five receivers, operating on a +5V supply with an internal charge pump eliminating the need for external bipolar supplies. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and features ±15kV ESD protection on all pins. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 28-pin SOIC package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates four drivers and five receivers for multi-channel serial communication
• Includes internal charge-pump circuitry for single +5V operation
• Provides ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection on all pins
• Features low-power shutdown mode to minimize current consumption

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment
• Hand-held equipment
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) rather than the extended industrial range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards as indicated by the '+' suffix. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet for any pinout or electrical characteristic updates.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple transmit and receive lines are required from a single UART interface. The integrated charge pump simplifies design by removing the need for dual voltage rails. Verify that the 120kbps maximum data rate aligns with system requirements. Consider the shutdown functionality if power management is critical for the application environment.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX211EEAI+ but differs in temperature rating and packaging. The EC suffix specifically denotes the commercial grade variant, distinguishing it from the EE series which supports wider industrial temperatures.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX211EEAI+ offers identical electrical specifications but supports an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and utilizes an SSOP-28 package instead of SOIC-28.
