MAX213EWI+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213EWI+ is a +5V RS-232 transceiver from the MAX200-MAX213 family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features four drivers and five receivers in a 28-pin Wide SO package. The device operates on a single +5V supply using an integrated charge pump to generate ±10V internal voltages. It supports data rates up to 120kbps with full duplex communication. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 4µs (up to 40µs in shutdown), a maximum operating temperature of +85°C, and a minimum of -40°C. The part includes a shutdown mode for power reduction.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump circuitry eliminates the need for external bipolar supplies or additional capacitors beyond standard 0.1µF components.
• Low-power shutdown mode significantly reduces supply current consumption while maintaining functionality for specific receivers.
• Two receivers remain active during shutdown to monitor external activity, such as ring indicators, without powering the entire device.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Battery-powered equipment requiring extended operational life
• Handheld devices with limited board space
• Portable diagnostics equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 28-pin Wide SO configuration. Confirm that the required voltage levels and signal integrity meet the EIA/TIA-232E specifications for the target application environment.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single +5V supply is available and multiple transmit/receive channels are needed. Compare against the MAX211 if receiver monitoring during shutdown is not required. Consider the physical dimensions of the Wide SO package relative to the shrink SSOP option if board area is constrained.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX200-MAX213 family of +5V RS-232 transceivers. It shares architectural similarities with the MAX211 but adds two extra receivers that function in shutdown mode. The 'E' suffix indicates an industrial temperature range, while 'W' denotes the wide small-outline package.
