MAX213ECWI+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213ECWI+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a +4.5V to +5.5V supply and integrates four drivers and five receivers with full-duplex communication capability. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and features ±15kV ESD protection via the Human Body Model. It includes an integrated charge pump for generating internal voltage rails without external bipolar supplies. The component offers a low-power shutdown mode drawing 15μA, where receivers R4 and R5 remain active. It is housed in a 28-pin Wide SOIC package and functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated high-voltage charge pump eliminates the need for external bipolar power supplies
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV for handling and assembly environments
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces current consumption while maintaining specific receiver functionality
• CMOS/TTL-compatible input thresholds allow direct interfacing with standard logic families

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Hand-held diagnostic tools and portable instrumentation
• Industrial control systems exposed to harsh electrical environments

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) rather than the industrial range (-40°C to +85°C). Confirm the 'W' suffix corresponds to the wide SOIC package variant. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to ensure pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics match the design requirements before finalizing orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available and board space savings are critical due to the integrated charge pump. The MAX213ECWI+ is suitable for applications requiring multiple receive lines, specifically utilizing the two awake-in-shutdown receivers for monitoring. Ensure the application environment remains within the commercial temperature limits defined by the 'C' suffix.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply operation. The 'E' designation indicates enhanced ESD protection compared to standard versions. The MAX213 variant specifically provides four drivers and five receivers, distinguishing it from lower-channel devices like the MAX202 or MAX203 within the same product line.
