The MAX213CWI+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is a dual, low-voltage, RS-232 transceiver suitable for use in a wide range of applications. This IC offers several key features that make it an ideal choice for serial communication.
Firstly, the MAX213CWI+T operates at low voltages, making it compatible with modern systems that employ low-voltage supply levels. It supports supply voltages ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V, making it highly versatile in various electronic devices.
Another prominent feature of this IC is its dual-channel capability. It consists of two transceiver channels, allowing simultaneous sending and receiving of data over two independent RS-232 connections. This feature proves valuable in applications that require bidirectional communication with multiple devices.
In terms of data transmission rates, the MAX213CWI+T supports data rates up to 250 kbps, enabling efficient and high-speed communication. This capability enables swift data exchange between connected devices or systems.
Furthermore, this IC incorporates a proprietary slew-rate-limited driver, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI). By minimizing EMI, the MAX213CWI+T ensures a good electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance, which is crucial for robust serial communication.
The MAX213CWI+T is also designed with integrated protection features to safeguard against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events
