MAX213CWI

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213CWI is a +5V CMOS RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and five receivers in a 28-pin wide SOIC package. It operates at data rates exceeding 120kbps with integrated charge pump circuitry requiring only four 0.1µF external capacitors. The device includes a low-power shutdown mode where two receivers remain active for ring indicator monitoring, consuming typically 75µW. It supports single-supply operation from +5V or 9V to +12V, eliminating the need for bipolar ±12V supplies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates requirement for external bipolar voltage sources
• Low-power shutdown mode maintains two active receivers for system wake-up capability
• TTL/CMOS compatible inputs and outputs ensure direct interface with logic circuits

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered portable equipment
• Handheld diagnostic tools
• Industrial control systems requiring RS-232 connectivity

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CW' corresponds to the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and wide SOIC package as defined in the official Analog Devices selector guide. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require multiple transmit and receive channels within a single IC footprint. The MAX213 is appropriate for applications needing continuous receiver monitoring during power-saving states. Ensure external capacitor ratings meet the voltage requirements generated by the internal charge pump.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply operation. The MAX213 variant specifically distinguishes itself by providing five receivers and dedicated shutdown control pins, offering greater flexibility for complex serial communication interfaces compared to simpler driver-only devices.
