MAX213EEAI

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213EEAI+ is a single-supply RS-232 transceiver operating from a +4.5V to +5.5V source. It integrates four drivers and five receivers, with two receivers (R4, R5) remaining active during shutdown for wake-up functionality. The device supports data rates up to 120kbps and utilizes an internal charge pump requiring four external 0.1μF capacitors. It features ±15kV ESD protection on all lines and operates within a -40°C to +85°C temperature range in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated dual charge-pump voltage converters generate required bipolar supplies from a single positive rail
• Two receiver channels remain functional in low-power shutdown mode to enable system wake-up
• High electrostatic discharge immunity protects inputs and outputs against harsh environmental handling

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered portable equipment requiring extended standby life
• Hand-held diagnostic tools with frequent connection cycles
• Portable instrumentation systems needing robust serial communication interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EEAI corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and SSOP-28 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available but bipolar voltages are not. The inclusion of awake-in-shutdown receivers distinguishes it from similar devices lacking this feature. Ensure circuit design accommodates the required four external capacitors for the charge pump operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E-MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers designed for single-supply applications. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX211E but provides additional receiver channels and specific shutdown control logic tailored for power-sensitive environments.
