MAX218EAP+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX218EAP+ is a dual RS-232 transceiver designed for battery-powered EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 interfaces. It operates from a single supply voltage ranging from +1.8V to +4.25V, enabling direct connection to two alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH cells without external regulators. The device integrates on-board DC-DC converters to generate true RS-232 voltage levels. It features a low-power shutdown mode that reduces current consumption to 0.04µA while allowing receivers to remain active. The component supports data rates up to 120kbps and is housed in a 20-pin SSOP package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EAP+' against official documentation to confirm the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and SSOP-20 packaging. Ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs regarding the required external inductor, diode, and capacitor values for the internal charge pump. Confirm availability status as discontinued products may require alternative sourcing strategies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring true RS-232 signaling powered by low-voltage batteries. It is suitable for applications needing dual drivers and receivers with minimal power consumption. Consider the 120kbps data rate limit and the necessity of external passive components for the switch-mode power supply. Evaluate if the shutdown functionality meets the system's power management requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The MAX218 series consists of dual RS-232 transceivers optimized for low-voltage operation. The MAX218EAP+ specifically denotes the industrial temperature grade variant packaged in a 20-pin shrink small-outline package (SSOP). This part belongs to a family of CMOS RS-232 transceivers designed to replace traditional bipolar counterparts for improved power efficiency.
