MAX202E, MAX203E, MAX205E, MAX206E, MAX207E, MAX208E, MAX211E, MAX213E, MAX232E, MAX241E ±15kV ESD-Protected, +5V RS-232 Transceivers

The MAX202E MAX203E MAX205E MAX206E MAX207E MAX208E MAX211E MAX213E MAX232E MAX241E line drivers/receivers are designed for RS-232 and V.28 Communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter output and receiver input is protected against 15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without 4dc latchup. The various combinations of features are outlined in the Selector Guide. The drivers and receivers for all ten devices meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28 specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification.
The MAX211E MAX213E MAX241E are available in 28-pin SO packages, as well as a 28-pin SSOP that uses 60% less board space. The MAX202E MAX232E come in 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP packages. The MAX203E comes in a 20-pin DIP/SO package, and needs no external charge-pump capacitors. The MAX205E comes in a 24-pin wide DIP package, and also eliminates external charge-pump capacitors. The MAX206E MAX207E MAX208E come in 24-pin SO, SSOP, and narrow DIP packages. The MAX232E MAX241E operate with four 1F capacitors, while the MAX202E MAX206E MAX207E MAX208E MAX211E MAX213E operate with four 0.1F capacitors, further reducing cost and board space.
