The MAX213EEAI+ is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver from Analog Devices (Maxim) that packs four drivers and five receivers into a 28-pin SSOP package. That 4/5 split means you can drive four serial lines while monitoring five receive channels — useful for multi-peripheral terminal interfaces or industrial controllers where one extra receive channel saves a second transceiver. The 500 mV receiver hysteresis gives you a clean noise margin on cables that pick up coupled interference; at 120 kbps it handles the standard RS-232 baud rates for PLCs, barcode scanners, and serial consoles without timing pressure.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MAX213EEAI+ and MAX213EEAI?
The MAX213EEAI+ is the ROHS3-compliant lead-free variant of the base MAX213EEAI. Electrical specifications — 4 drivers, 5 receivers, 120 kbps data rate, 500 mV hysteresis, 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply — are identical. The '+' suffix indicates lead-free / ROHS3 compliance.
What is the data rate of MAX213EEAI+?
The MAX213EEAI+ is rated for 120 kbps, which covers standard RS-232 baud rates up to 115.2 kbps with margin for longer cables.
Is MAX213EEAI+ lead-free?
Yes — the MAX213EEAI+ is ROHS3 compliant, meaning it meets the lead-free and restricted-substance requirements of the ROHS directive.
