MAX213EEAI+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213EEAI+T is a fully compliant RS-232 and V.28 transceiver designed for single +5V supply operation, utilizing integrated charge pump circuitry to generate the necessary bipolar voltages without external transformers or dual supplies. It features four drivers and five receivers with two awake-in-shutdown receiver outputs (R4, R5) that remain active during low-power shutdown mode. The device provides high ±15kV ESD protection on all pins per Human Body Model standards. Operating at data rates up to 120kbps, it includes an enable control pin (active high) and a shutdown control pin (active low). The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is housed in a 28-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates the need for external bipolar power supplies
• High electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV via Human Body Model
• Two receiver channels remain functional during shutdown for system monitoring
• Low-power shutdown mode significantly reduces supply current consumption

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Hand-held devices with limited board space constraints
• Portable diagnostics equipment subject to frequent connection changes

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EWA' against official documentation, as datasheets typically list 'EEAI' for the 28-pin SSOP variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer certification. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when single-supply +5V operation is mandatory and board space is restricted. The MAX213E is distinct from the MAX211E due to its unique awake-in-shutdown receiver capability. Verify that the active-high enable and active-low shutdown logic levels align with the controlling microcontroller interface requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX202E–MAX213E family of RS-232 transceivers manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The family shares common architecture but varies in driver/receiver counts and control pin configurations. The MAX213E specifically differentiates itself by offering two additional receivers that function independently of the main shutdown state.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX211EEAI+T is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same family. Note that the MAX211E lacks the awake-in-shutdown receiver feature found in the MAX213E and utilizes different control pin polarities for Enable and Shutdown functions.
