MAX213IDBR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213IDBR is a low-power RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. It integrates four drivers and five receivers for full-duplex communication with a data rate of 120 kb/s. The device operates on a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, drawing 20 mA during active operation. It features an internal dual charge pump generating ±6 V from the 5 V source. Key electrical specifications include a shutdown current of less than 1 µA, output current of 10 mA, and ESD protection rated at 15 kV.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates dual charge pumps to generate required RS-232 voltage levels from a single 5 V supply
• Includes shutdown mode to minimize power consumption during idle periods
• Provides robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all pins

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Portable equipment requiring low-power serial communication
• Battery-operated systems utilizing RS-232 interfaces
• Industrial control systems needing reliable full-duplex data transmission

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDBR indicates tape-and-reel packaging versus tube variants like IDB. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official datasheets as manufacturing processes evolve. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Texas Instruments documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring four drivers and five receivers within a compact SSOP footprint. Ensure the application supports the 120 kb/s maximum data rate and operates within the specified -40°C to +85°C temperature range. Verify that the system power supply remains stable between 4.5 V and 5.5 V for proper charge pump functionality.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX213 family of RS-232 transceivers designed for low-voltage applications. It serves as a functional equivalent to older MAX213 variants but may differ in packaging or environmental compliance. The IDBR suffix specifically denotes surface-mount installation in a reel format suitable for automated assembly processes.
