MAX213ECAI+ 概要

The Maxim Integrated MAX213ECAI+ is a +5V-powered RS-232 transceiver with integrated charge-pump circuitry and ±15kV ESD protection, housed in a 28-pin SSOP package. It provides four drivers and five receivers in a TTL tri-state-compatible interface, operates from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply, and supports data rates up to 120 kbps for asynchronous serial communication.

A RS-232 transceiver is an interface IC that converts between TTL/CMOS logic levels (0V/5V) and the bipolar ±5V to ±15V signalling required by the RS-232 standard. It belongs to the broader family of line transceivers (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485), which themselves sit inside the interface ICs category and the larger umbrella of wired communication semiconductor components. By embedding the charge pump on-chip, the MAX213 eliminates the need for external ±12V supplies, simplifying PCB design in point-of-sale terminals, industrial controllers and embedded computing platforms.

Key features include ±15kV ESD protection on every transmitter output and receiver input (per HBM), four RS-232 drivers and five RS-232 receivers in the SSOP-28 footprint, tri-state TTL/CMOS compatible receiver outputs, and an integrated charge pump that requires only four external 0.1 µF capacitors. The device operates across the commercial 0°C to 70°C temperature range, and its low supply current (~20 mA typical, unloaded) suits battery-backed systems that must wake serial ports only during transactions.

Technically, the MAX213ECAI+ uses Maxim's BiCMOS process that combines bipolar drive transistors (for true ±5V RS-232 swing) with CMOS control logic. The charge pump runs as a voltage doubler and inverter from VCC=5V, generating V+ ≈ +10V and V- ≈ -10V which feed the driver output stages. Receivers implement a 0.8V/2.4V-thresholded Schmitt-trigger input structure with 5 kΩ pull-down resistors to ground, ensuring a defined logic-high output when the input is open-circuited. Internal slew-rate control limits data rates to ~120 kbps, which is well matched to legacy serial peripherals, debug consoles and embedded modem links.

Typical applications include industrial PCs and point-of-sale equipment needing multi-port serial expansion, embedded microcontroller debug consoles, GPS receivers and GSM/cellular modules with RS-232 interfaces, and legacy peripheral interfaces such as optical mice, bar-code scanners and serial printers where robust ±15kV ESD handling protects against hot-plug discharge.

When designing with this IC, keep charge-pump capacitor traces short (less than ~10 mm) and place the four 0.1 µF ceramics as close to C1+, C1-, C2+, C2- pins as possible. Reserve TVS diodes externally on the connector side for ESD events that exceed the on-chip rating, especially for cables longer than 3 metres.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, drop-in alternative MPNs and practical PCB layout notes that go beyond the manufacturer's datasheet, giving engineers a one-stop reference for selecting, sourcing and laying out the MAX213ECAI+.

主な用途

MAX213ECAI+ の用途: 6 件s: Point-of-Sale (POS) Serial Expansion, Industrial PC and Embedded SBC Serial Ports, Embedded Debug Console Interface, GPS and Cellular Module Serial Interfaces, Medical and Laboratory RS-232 Instruments, Legacy Peripheral Interface (Mouse, Bar-Code Scanner, Serial Printer).

🏭

Point-of-Sale (POS) Serial Expansion

The MAX213ECAI+'s four RS-232 drivers and five RS-232 receivers map directly to the multi-port serial interfaces used in point-of-sale terminals, where credit-card readers, receipt printers, barcode scanners and cash-drawer triggers each require their own RS-232 channel. The integrated +5V charge pump removes the need for ±12V rails, simplifying the ATX-style power architecture of compact POS terminals. With ±15kV ESD protection, the device survives hot-plug events at the operator-facing DB-9 ports. Typical companion parts include microcontrollers such as the NXP S08 series and ASIC/SoC bridging chips; recommended companion MPN ADM3202ARNZ is on the XAIPART Site MPN list and supports auxiliary serial channels.

🖥️

Industrial PC and Embedded SBC Serial Ports

Industrial single-board computers and embedded PCs commonly expose DB-9 RS-232 ports to legacy equipment such as CNC controllers, PLCs and serial instruments. The MAX213ECAI+ translates the TTL UART from the host CPU into RS-232 levels at up to 120 kbps, which is the maximum rate supported by the on-chip slew-rate control and matches common industrial protocols including Modbus RTU at 9.6/19.2/38.4 kbps. The integrated charge pump runs from a single +5V supply already present on the SBC, avoiding the inefficient inverting switching regulators needed for discrete ±12V RS-232 implementations. Recommended companion products include the S912XEG384J2CAL (Power Architecture MCU with 6 UARTs, on the XAIPART Site MPN list) and standard 0.1 µF X7R ceramic charge-pump capacitors.

🔧

Embedded Debug Console Interface

During firmware development, engineers route a UART from the target microcontroller to an external DB-9 connector so a PC running a serial terminal can capture boot logs and crash reports. The MAX213ECAI+ provides this conversion with one of its four driver channels, leaving the remaining channels free for application serial traffic such as GPS receivers or GSM modems. The device's commercial 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range suits lab and indoor test environments, while ±15 kV ESD protects the developer's serial cable and laptop port against static mishaps during bench work.

🌐

GPS and Cellular Module Serial Interfaces

GPS receivers and legacy GSM/GPRS modules expose their NMEA 0183 / AT command streams over RS-232. The MAX213ECAI+'s single-driver-per-channel architecture (T1IN → T1OUT, R1OUT ← R1IN, etc.) lets the engineer dedicate one driver/receiver pair to each module while preserving spare channels for sensor or display connectivity. Maximum 120 kbps data rate comfortably exceeds the 9.6 kbps NMEA rate of standard GPS modules and the 115.2 kbps ceiling of typical AT-command cellular modems, with significant margin against channel noise.

💊

Medical and Laboratory RS-232 Instruments

Many laboratory instruments such as spectrophotometers, blood-gas analysers and centrifuges still expose RS-232 for data export to hospital information systems. The MAX213ECAI+'s commercial temperature range suits climate-controlled clinical environments, while its ±15kV ESD rating protects against static discharge during repeated cable connections at the device side. Combined with the single +5V supply, the part integrates easily into the medical-instrument's existing 5V logic rail, eliminating external DC-DC converters that would otherwise complicate IEC 60601 EMC compliance.

🎥

Legacy Peripheral Interface (Mouse, Bar-Code Scanner, Serial Printer)

Optical mice, hand-held barcode scanners and serial receipt printers remain RS-232 peripherals in warehouse and retail environments. The MAX213ECAI+'s 28-pin SSOP footprint fits compact cable-side PCBs, and its +/- 15 kV ESD rating shields the host equipment from cable-side discharges. The integrated charge-pump only requires four 0.1 µF capacitors, keeping the BOM small and the layout compact for embedded cable assemblies.

What is the MAX213ECAI+ and what does it do?
The MAX213ECAI+ is a +5V-powered, ±15kV-ESD-protected RS-232 transceiver from Maxim Integrated in a 28-pin SSOP package. It provides four RS-232 drivers and five RS-232 receivers with an integrated charge-pump that requires only four external 0.1 µF capacitors, and supports data rates up to 120 kbps. According to the Maxim datasheet (MAX200-MAX213 family), it converts between TTL/CMOS logic and the bipolar ±5V to ±15V RS-232 signalling levels using a single 4.5V–5.5V supply.
What is the supply voltage range of the MAX213ECAI+?
The MAX213ECAI+ operates from a single +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply. According to the Maxim datasheet, the device is designed for +5V systems, and the on-chip charge pump generates the ±10 V rails required by the RS-232 transmitters. Operation below 4.5 V can cause the driver output levels to fall below the ±5 V minimum required by the RS-232 standard.
How many drivers and receivers does the MAX213ECAI+ have?
The MAX213ECAI+ integrates four RS-232 drivers (transmitters) and five RS-232 receivers in the 28-pin SSOP package. This asymmetric 4/5 arrangement supports the common DB-9 serial-port configuration where one channel is used for data and another for hardware flow control, while the extra receiver is typically dedicated to ring-indicate or carrier-detect monitoring.
What is the ESD protection level of the MAX213ECAI+?
The MAX213ECAI+ is rated for ±15 kV ESD protection (Human-Body Model) on the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs, per the Maxim datasheet. This on-chip level guards against incidental static discharge during cable handling and equipment reconfiguration, supplementing any external TVS protection placed at the connector.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX213ECAI+?
The MAX213ECAI+ supports data rates up to 120 kbps on the driver outputs. According to the Maxim datasheet, this limit is set by the internal slew-rate control used to keep EMI within RS-232 specifications. For 1 Mbps or higher rates, the MAX3232 or MAX3221 family would be a more appropriate choice, but the MAX213 is well-matched to legacy 9.6/19.2/38.4/57.6/115.2 kbps serial links.
Where can I download the MAX213ECAI+ datasheet PDF?
The official MAX200-MAX213 family datasheet (which covers MAX213ECAI+) can be downloaded as PDF from Maxim/Analog Devices at https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX200-MAX213.pdf. The same datasheet is mirrored on third-party sites such as alldatasheet.com. Always reference the Analog Devices controlled copy for the most current revision.
Where to buy MAX213ECAI+ online and what is the price?
The MAX213ECAI+ is stocked at distributors including Mouser, DigiKey, LCSC Electronics and Octopart-aggregated resellers, with pricing as of 2026-10-21 starting at approximately $5.13 per unit at 500-piece quantity and $7.18 for single-piece orders. Lead times vary by distributor; Mouser and DigiKey typically ship ex-stock, while smaller resellers may require 2-4 weeks. Volume pricing scales to under $4.50 at 1000-piece quantities.
Is the MAX213ECAI+ in stock and what is the lead time?
According to distributor listings as of 2026-10-21, the MAX213ECAI+ is in stock at major authorised distributors including Mouser and Octopart-aggregated vendors, with ex-stock availability for small quantities and factory lead times of 6-10 weeks for larger volumes. LCSC Electronics also lists the part. For urgent requirements, contact multiple distributors concurrently as the analogue interface IC market remains supply-tight on long-running Maxim parts.
What is the pinout of the MAX213ECAI+ SSOP-28 package?
The MAX213ECAI+ in the 28-pin SSOP package assigns TTL/CMOS logic on one side (T1IN-T4IN, R1OUT-R5OUT) and RS-232 levels on the other (T1OUT-T4OUT, R1IN-R5IN), with the charge-pump pins (V+, V-, C1+, C1-, C2+, C2-) and VCC/GND in between. Pin 1 dot is at the top-left per JEDEC SSOP-28 standard. Refer to the SSOP-28 SVG on this page for the full pin assignment.
What are the best drop-in replacements for MAX213ECAI+?
True drop-in replacements for the MAX213ECAI+ include the MAX213ECAI (no + lead-free finish), MAX213CAI+ (commercial grade in SSOP-28), and MAX213EAI+ (industrial temperature grade, SSOP-28). Cross-brand alternatives such as the ADM3202 (Analog Devices) and SN75C3232 (Texas Instruments) are pin-compatible on TTL sides but check RS-232 side assignments before assuming drop-in. Maxim's own MAX3232 in SSOP-28 is a higher-speed alternative but requires verifying pin mapping.
MAX213ECAI+ vs MAX213CAI+ - what is the difference?
The MAX213ECAI+ and MAX213CAI+ are the same die in the same 28-SSOP package, differing only in terminal finish and lead-free compliance. The 'E' suffix designates an enhanced ESD-rated version (±15 kV) versus the standard 'C' version (±2 kV typical). Pin-out and electrical specifications are otherwise identical, making the MAX213CAI+ a functional alternative if ±15 kV ESD is not required by the application.
Can ADM3202 replace the MAX213ECAI+ directly?
The ADM3202 from Analog Devices is pin-compatible with the MAX213ECAI+ on the TTL/CMOS side and offers similar 3.3V-5V supply operation, but it provides only 2 drivers and 2 receivers - not the 4/5 arrangement of the MAX213. For applications that genuinely need 4 drivers plus 5 receivers, the ADM3202 cannot serve as a drop-in replacement. Choose it only for half-duplex 2-channel designs.
What is the operating temperature range of the MAX213ECAI+?
The MAX213ECAI+ operates over the commercial 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range, as stated in the Maxim datasheet. For industrial -40 °C to +85 °C applications, use the MAX213EAI+ variant instead, which is the same die in the same SSOP-28 package but screened for the wider temperature range. Both share identical electrical specifications outside temperature limits.
What external capacitors are required for the MAX213ECAI+?
The MAX213ECAI+ requires four external 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors connected to the C1+, C1-, C2+, C2- pins for the charge-pump circuitry. According to the Maxim datasheet, these capacitors should be placed as close to the device pins as possible with short, wide traces to minimise loop inductance, which can otherwise degrade RS-232 output rise/fall times and EMI margins.
Is the MAX213ECAI+ RoHS compliant?
Yes, the MAX213ECAI+ is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The '+' suffix in Maxim's part numbering convention denotes a lead-free, RoHS-compliant product with a matte-tin (Sn) terminal finish, as confirmed in the Mouser and Octopart product listings. The standard commercial-grade MAX213ECAI without the '+' is a legacy lead-finish variant that is not RoHS compliant.

選定ガイド

Choose the MAX213ECAI+ when you need a +5V RS-232 transceiver with four drivers and five receivers in a 28-SSOP and ±15kV ESD protection in a commercial temperature grade. If your design requires industrial temperature operation, switch to the pin-compatible MAX213EAI+ which uses the same SSOP-28 footprint. If the application needs only 1-2 channels and a SOIC-16/20 footprint is acceptable, the ADM3202 is a lower-cost alternative but consumes fewer channels per chip. For higher data rates (>120 kbps) on a 3.3V supply, choose the MAX3232 instead - note it is a different pinout and is not drop-in. The MAX213ECAI+ remains the optimum choice when compatibility with legacy +5V-only designs and ±15kV ESD robustness outweigh the need for higher speed.

  • Industrial temperature option in same package (vs MAX213EAI+)

設計ノート

Place the four 0.1 µF charge-pump capacitors (C1, C2) within 3-5 mm of the C1+, C1-, C2+, C2- pins to minimise the switching-current loop area. Estimated: at 5V VCC the charge pump switches approximately every 1 µs; loop inductance above ~10 nH will produce ringing above 1 V peak, which can degrade the V+/V- rail stability and tilt the RS-232 driver output rise/fall times out of spec.

Do not place the charge-pump capacitors near noisy switching nodes such as buck-converter SW pins or RF antenna traces. The MAX213ECAI+'s charge pump is internally regulated but external noise coupling into V+ or V- will modulate the driver output levels and may show up as increased jitter on long cables. Keep a quiet ground pour under the IC and bypass VCC to GND with a local 1 µF + 100 nF combination.

The MAX213ECAI+'s 28-pin SSOP package has a 0.65 mm lead pitch, which is compatible with standard 4-mil trace/space fabrication. Route the four RS-232 output traces (T1OUT-T4OUT) away from high-frequency edges and, if possible, on the opposite side of the ground plane from the TTL input traces to minimise crosstalk. For cable-side ESD robustness beyond the on-chip ±15 kV, add an external TVS diode array (such as a PESD5V0L4UG or similar) within 10 mm of the connector.
