Product details

RS-232 transceiver, 4/5 channels, 120 kbps

The MAX213CDBR is a full-duplex RS-232 transceiver from Texas Instruments, integrating four drivers and five receivers in a single 28-SSOP package.

Active production — sourcing posture

It is ROHS3 compliant.

Package and footprint: 28-SSOP

Housed in a 28-SSOP package (0.209-inch body width, 5.30 mm), the MAX213CDBR is a surface-mount device. The 0.65 mm pin pitch is layout-friendly on a two-layer board, but the 28-pin count means the supply decoupling caps and RS-232 charge-pump capacitors should sit close to the package — the datasheet layout guidelines show the recommended placement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the MAX213CDBR and the MAX232?

Both are RS-232 transceivers, but the MAX213CDBR offers four drivers and five receivers (4/5) versus the MAX232's two drivers and two receivers (2/2). The MAX213CDBR also includes a receiver hysteresis of 500 mV, which improves noise immunity on longer cable runs. The MAX232 is available in a smaller 16-pin package, while the MAX213CDBR uses a 28-SSOP. Pin compatibility is not direct — the channel count difference means a board redesign is needed to swap between them.
