Product details

RS-232 transceiver for legacy serial ports

The MAX208CDB is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver integrating four drivers and four receivers in a single 24-SSOP package.

Receiver hysteresis and noise margin

The receiver hysteresis is specified at 500 mV.

Active lifecycle and supply posture

Sourcing is confirmed per RFQ against the BOM quantity — no stock-holding claim, but the active status means multi-year procurement planning without a forced redesign.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MAX208CDB and MAX208EIDB?

Both share the same 24-SSOP footprint and 4/4 driver/receiver count. The EIDB is the better choice for outdoor or factory-floor installations.
