MAX213IDW

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213IDW is a multi-channel RS-232 line driver and receiver manufactured by Texas Instruments, housed in a 28-pin SOIC package. It operates on a single 5 V supply with a voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. The device supports full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120 kb/s. It integrates four drivers and five receivers, featuring a shutdown mode that reduces operating current to 20 mA. The component provides ±15 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all RS-232 lines and functions within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates four independent drivers and five independent receivers for comprehensive multi-channel serial communication.
• Provides robust ±15 kV ESD protection on all RS-232 transceiver lines to safeguard connected equipment.
• Includes a dedicated shutdown pin to minimize power consumption during idle periods.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication interfaces.
• Computer peripherals and modems utilizing standard RS-232 protocols.
• Data acquisition systems needing multiple isolated serial channels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix IDW confirms the SOIC-28 package and industrial temperature grade before ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation as requirements vary by region. Check for end-of-life notices or obsolescence warnings from Texas Instruments to ensure long-term availability for production cycles.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when four transmit and five receive channels are required on a single IC. Ensure the system operates strictly within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range. Compare against the MAX213IDB if a smaller SSOP package is preferred, or consider the MAX3243IDW for higher data rate capabilities up to 250 kb/s.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX213 family of 5-V multichannel RS-232 transceivers. It serves as a direct replacement for older TRS213 devices. The IDW suffix specifically denotes the wide-body SOIC-28 package variant, distinguishing it from the narrower SSOP-28 IDB version.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The TRS213IDW is a verified equivalent part number from Texas Instruments offering identical functionality and pinout compatibility.
