Four independent RS232 channels in a 5.3 mm wide SSOP-24 save board area compared to stacking multiple dual transceivers. The 0.209-inch body pitch is standard for SSOP; layout footprints are shared with many Maxim and TI RS232 parts in the same package. The tube shipping medium suits low-to-medium volume assembly — if you need tape-and-reel for high-volume pick-and-place, confirm the reel option with your distributor.
The MAX208ECAG+ supports a maximum data rate of 120 kbps, which covers standard RS232 baud rates up to 115200 with margin.
