The MAX202EEPE+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is a low-power RS-232 transceiver that provides two full-duplex communication channels. The IC is specifically designed for connecting microcontrollers or other sophisticated logic to the serial port of personal computers, laptops, and various peripherals.
Here are some key features of the MAX202EEPE+:
1. RS-232 Compliance: The MAX202EEPE+ adheres to the RS-232 standard, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. It supports both RS-232 and V.28 communication standards.
2. Dual Transceivers: This IC integrates two separate transceivers, enabling simultaneous bidirectional communication on two different serial channels. Each channel includes a transmitter and a receiver.
3. Low Power Consumption: The MAX202EEPE+ operates using a single +5V supply voltage, making it suitable for low-power applications. Additionally, it incorporates Maxim's proprietary BiCMOS process, which minimizes power consumption.
4. Wide Compatibility: The IC has a high receiver input voltage range (-25V to +25V), allowing it to interface with a broad spectrum of serial devices. It also provides ±5V transmitter outputs for compatibility with various logic families.
5. ESD Protection: The MAX202EEPE+ incorporates Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection on all pins, safeguarding the IC from damage or malfunction caused by static electricity discharge
