MAX218CPP+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX218CPP+ is a dual RS-232 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated, designed for battery-powered EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communication interfaces. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from +1.8V to +4.25V, maintaining true RS-232 and EIA/TIA-562 voltage levels without external regulators. The device integrates two drivers and two receivers with an on-board DC-DC converter that generates ±6.5V using minimal external components. It supports data rates up to 120kbps and features a low-power shutdown mode reducing current consumption to 1µA. The component is housed in a 20-pin Plastic DIP package and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix CPP+ against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the 20-pin PDIP package and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Ensure compatibility with system requirements regarding the 1.8V to 4.25V operating voltage and 120kbps data rate specifications before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring direct operation from two-cell battery packs while maintaining standard RS-232 signal integrity. Consider the integrated charge pump when designing PCB layouts to accommodate the necessary external inductor and capacitors. Evaluate the shutdown control logic if power conservation during idle periods is a critical design constraint.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX218 belongs to Maxim's family of low-power RS-232 transceivers designed for portable electronics. Unlike bipolar counterparts, it utilizes CMOS technology to achieve significantly lower quiescent current. The part serves as a bridge between microprocessors and serial ports in battery-operated devices where space and power efficiency are paramount.
