Product details

RS232 transceiver, not a power module — what the category trail hides

The MAX218EAP+: The 100 mV receiver hysteresis cleans up noisy RS232 lines from long cable runs.

20-SSOP package and industrial temperature range

Housed in a 20-SSOP (0.209-inch body width, 5.30 mm), surface-mount package. Full-duplex operation means simultaneous transmit and receive on each channel — the 2/2 driver/receiver count supports two independent RS232 ports.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MAX218EAP+ used for?

It is a full-duplex RS232 transceiver with two drivers and two receivers, operating at 120Kbps. Typical applications include serial communication ports in industrial controllers, point-of-sale terminals, and battery-powered instruments where the 1.8V to 4.25V supply range allows direct connection to low-voltage logic.
