MAX211EWI+T

The MAX211EWI+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed by Maxim Integrated Products. It belongs to the MAX211 family of transceivers and is primarily used for communication applications requiring two-way data transfer over long distances. The component offers several key features that make it an ideal choice for such applications. Firstly, the MAX211EWI+T is a complete RS-232 and V.28 communication solution, providing two drivers and two receivers on a single chip. This integration simplifies the design process by reducing component count and PCB space requirements, making it suitable for space-constrained applications. The transceiver operates over a wide voltage range, from +4.5V to +5.5V, making it compatible with a variety of power supply sources. It supports data rates up to 120kbps, enabling high-speed data transmission while maintaining reliable signal integrity. Another noteworthy feature of the MAX211EWI+T is its high ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection capability. It is designed to withstand up to ±15kV human body model (HBM) and ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air-gap discharges, ensuring robustness and preventing damage from electrostatic events that may occur during handling or operation. Furthermore, the component features a low-power shutdown mode, which allows the device to consume minimal power when not actively transmitting or receiving data, thus extending battery life in portable applications
