MAX211EWI+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX211EWI+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and five receivers in a 28-pin Wide SO package. It operates at data rates up to 120kbps with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device requires four external 0.1µF capacitors for its internal charge pump, which generates ±10V from a single +5V supply. Supply current is typically 11mA in active mode and reduces to 1µA in shutdown mode.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates the need for bipolar supplies
• Low-power shutdown mode minimizes energy consumption
• TTL/CMOS compatible inputs and outputs

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official datasheets to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that the ordering suffix corresponds to the required industrial temperature range and packaging format before finalizing procurement decisions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model when a full-duplex interface with multiple receiver lines is necessary. The integrated charge pump simplifies design by removing external voltage converters. Verify that the application supports the specific requirement for four external capacitors.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of RS-232 transceivers. These parts share common architecture but differ in driver/receiver counts and control features. The MAX211 specifically provides four drivers and five receivers within a 28-pin footprint.
