Product details

RS-232 line driver and receiver — what it does

The MAX202ESE+ is a Maxim Integrated RS-232 transceiver that handles full-duplex serial communication with two drivers and two receivers in a single 16-SOIC package. Data rate tops out at 120 Kbps.

Package and mounting

Surface-mount 16-SOIC (0.154" body width, 3.90 mm). Standard footprint, no fine-pitch reflow tricks. Tube delivery — if your pick-and-place feeds from tape, factor in a transfer step or order the tape-reel variant.

Lifecycle and sourcing

Marked Active on the lifecycle record — no NRND or EOL flags. ROHS3 compliant. Sourced through independent distribution; availability and pricing confirmed at quote time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the equivalent of MAX202ESE+?

The MAX202CSE+ is a compatible variant within the same family — same pinout and function, but check the temperature grade if your environment exceeds 70°C. For a second-source option, the SP202E from Sipex (now Exar) is a direct functional equivalent, though verify the receiver hysteresis and supply range against your design margin.

Does MAX202ESE+ require external capacitors?

Yes, like all MAX202-style transceivers, it needs four external charge-pump capacitors (typically 0.1 µF to 1 µF) to generate the RS-232 voltage levels. The datasheet layout shows the recommended values and placement.

What is the pinout of MAX202ESE+?

Standard 16-pin SOIC pinout for the MAX202 family: pins 1-4 and 6-7 are the charge-pump capacitor connections, pins 8-9 are the receiver outputs (R1OUT, R2OUT), pins 10-11 are the receiver inputs (R1IN, R2IN), pins 12-13 are the driver inputs (T1IN, T2IN), pins 14-15 are the driver outputs (T1OUT, T2OUT), pin 16 is VCC, and pin 5 is GND.

Where can I buy MAX202ESE+ and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution. It is quoted to order against an RFQ — contact us with your target quantity and we will confirm availability and current pricing at quote time. No minimum order restrictions apply.
