MAX213CAI+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213CAI+T is a +5V RS-232 transceiver from the Analog Devices/MAXIM family, designed for single-supply operation. It integrates charge-pump circuitry to generate ±10V rails using four external 0.1µF capacitors. The device features five drivers and five receivers with TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs. It supports data rates exceeding 120kbps under EIA/TIA-232E loading conditions. The 'C' suffix indicates an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, while the 'I' suffix denotes a 28-pin shrink small-outline (SSOP) package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates need for bipolar supplies
• Five drivers and five receivers in compact SSOP package
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces supply current
• Ring indicator monitoring on two receivers during shutdown

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component marking against the official datasheet pinout diagram to confirm authenticity. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package type. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation prior to integration into production assemblies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when five independent RS-232 channels are required in a space-constrained design. The integrated charge pump simplifies board layout by removing external voltage converters. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified 0°C to +70°C operating range for reliable performance.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common internal architecture but differ in channel count, package options, and specific control features like shutdown modes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other members of the MAX213 family such as MAX213ESE or MAX213CSE, provided the package and temperature specifications align with the original design requirements.
