MAX202ECWE+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX202ECWE+ is a full duplex RS-232 transceiver IC from Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It is designed to operate from a single +5V supply, eliminating the need for a bipolar ±12V supply thanks to its integrated charge pump circuitry.

This transceiver features 2 drivers and 2 receivers, supporting data rates up to 120Kbps. It includes high ±15kV ESD protection (HBM) for enhanced robustness. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

Packaged in a 16-SOIC (0.295", 7.50mm Width) surface mount package, the MAX202ECWE+ is suitable for various applications requiring RS-232 communication, such as battery-powered and hand-held equipment.

Key electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and receiver hysteresis of 500mV. It also features a low-power shutdown mode consuming only 1μA.
