MAX213IDWR

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX213IDWR is a Texas Instruments RS-232 transceiver in an SSOP-28 surface-mount package. It provides four drivers and five receivers for full-duplex communication at data rates up to 120 kb/s. Operating on a single 5 V supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V), it draws 20 mA with integrated shutdown capability. The device features ±15 kV ESD protection, operates from -40°C to +85°C, and delivers 10 mA output current.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated charge pump eliminates external high-voltage requirements
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection for harsh environments
• Low-power shutdown mode reduces standby consumption

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial serial communication interfaces
• Computer peripheral connections
• Modem link circuits

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'IDWR' suffix confirms the reel packaging format against official TI documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the specific datasheet revision. Validate that the SSOP-28 footprint matches the target PCB design before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when four transmit and five receive channels are required. Ensure the system operates within the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range. Verify that the 120 kb/s speed meets application needs. Check thermal limits for the SSOP-28 package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX213 family of multichannel RS-232 line drivers and receivers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX211 but offers additional receiver channels. The IDWR variant specifically denotes the tape-and-reel packaging option for automated assembly.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The TRS213 is a pin-compatible alternative from Texas Instruments. Verify electrical specifications and packaging availability before substitution.
