Product details

Package and mounting

Receiver hysteresis is 100 mV, which provides noise immunity on the RS232 line side. That matters in industrial environments where long cables pick up coupled noise from motors or switching supplies. The hysteresis prevents chatter at the logic output when the differential signal is marginal.

Package and temperature grade

Housed in a 20-SSOP (5.30 mm wide body), the part is a surface-mount device suited for automated assembly. The -40°C to 85°C operating range covers industrial temperature — outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and HVAC panels all fall within this envelope.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

The MAX218EAP+T is listed as Active and ROHS3 compliant. For a BOM freeze or a new design, this part is still a safe selection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the data rate of MAX218EAP+T?

The guaranteed data rate is 120Kbps. This is sufficient for standard RS232 communication at 115200 baud and below.

What package does MAX218EAP+T come in?

It comes in a 20-SSOP (0.209", 5.30mm width) surface-mount package. The supplier device package is also 20-SSOP.
