The MAX202IPW is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver rated for 120 kbps, which covers most legacy serial interfaces like UART debug ports, terminal connections, and industrial sensor links that don't need high-speed throughput. With two drivers and two receivers, it supports a single full-duplex channel or two half-duplex channels — common in point-to-point or multi-drop RS-232 networks.
It comes in a 16-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40 mm width) surface-mount package, supplier device package 16-TSSOP.
No — the product status is Active with no end-of-life notice recorded. ROHS3 compliant.
Pin-compatible alternatives in the same RS-232 family include the MAX232 and MAX202 series from Texas Instruments and other vendors, though exact drive capability and hysteresis vary — confirm with your design team before swapping.
