MAX211EEAI

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX211EEAI+T is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates four drivers and five receivers with an internal charge pump, enabling operation from a single +5V supply without external bipolar voltages. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and features ±15kV ESD protection on all pins. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and consumes 14mA typical supply current in normal mode, reducing to 1µA in shutdown. The component is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer certificates. Ensure the source document matches the exact part number to avoid functional discrepancies related to control pin polarities or capacitor requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple RS-232 channels with robust ESD protection. Verify that the application environment falls within the industrial temperature range. Check if the integrated charge pump meets the capacitive load requirements of the target interface. Consider the shutdown functionality for power-sensitive designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX241E but differs in control pin logic and capacitor specifications. The 'EE' designation indicates the extended temperature range and enhanced ESD protection compared to standard commercial variants.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX241EEAI+T is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same family. Verify differences in control pin polarity and required external capacitance values before substitution.
