MAX213EAI

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213EAI is a +5V RS-232 transceiver featuring four drivers and five receivers in a 28-pin SSOP package. It operates at data rates up to 120kbps with an integrated charge pump requiring only four 0.1µF external capacitors. The device supports single-supply operation from +5V or 9V to +12V, eliminating the need for bipolar supplies. It includes a low-power shutdown mode consuming 75µW while keeping two receivers active for ring indicator monitoring. The EIA/TIA-232E output levels are maintained under worst-case conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry enables single supply operation without bipolar voltage requirements
• Two receivers remain active during shutdown mode for continuous ring indicator monitoring
• TTL/CMOS compatible inputs with guaranteed receiver thresholds exceeding standard specifications

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Handheld devices with limited board space constraints
• Portable diagnostics equipment utilizing RS-232 communication

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and 'AI' denotes the 28-pin shrink small-outline package. Confirm that the component matches the official Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated datasheet specifications before integration into designs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring multiple transmitter and receiver channels within a compact footprint. The integrated charge pump simplifies power architecture by removing the need for external dual-voltage generation circuits, making it suitable for space-constrained portable applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX209/MAX211/MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. These devices share common internal architectures but differ in driver/receiver counts and package options. The MAX213 specifically provides four drivers and five receivers, distinguishing it from lower-channel variants in the series.
