MAX211CDB Visão geral
An RS-232 transceiver is an interface IC that converts logic-level signals into differential, voltage-swinged serial signals and converts received RS-232 levels back into logic-level voltages. In the interface hierarchy, the MAX211CDB belongs to the RS-232 transceiver, interface IC, and semiconductor categories. Its four-driver and five-receiver arrangement supports multiport communications equipment while providing three driver channels in shutdown for applications requiring partial low-power operation.
Key features include four drivers, five receivers, a 120 kbit/s operating rate, ±9 V driver output swing, ±15 kV ESD protection, and low supply current in shutdown. The integrated charge-pump circuitry supports single-supply operation. These characteristics make the device suitable for computers, industrial controllers, data-acquisition equipment, and other systems that exchange serial data over longer cable runs than TTL or CMOS interfaces can reliably support.
The RS-232 electrical interface uses unbalanced, single-ended signaling with a large voltage range relative to common-mode noise. The MAX211CDB is designed for TIA/EIA-232-F and ITU V.28 operation, as stated in the retrieved manufacturer-material summary. Its receiver and driver circuitry provide the voltage translation required at the boundary between digital logic and the RS-232 cable interface. The integrated ESD protection is particularly valuable when an exposed connector receives cable transients.
Typical uses include four-wire RS-232 links, multi-channel serial adapters, test equipment, and embedded systems that retain legacy peripheral connections. In a complete interface, the controller UART connects to TTL-level driver inputs, while each driver output feeds an external connector through the application’s protection and routing network. Receivers return cable signals to the UART through external resistor networks when the selected pinout calls for them.
Designers should confirm the exact DB package pinout and external charge-pump capacitor values from the manufacturer datasheet. Decoupling capacitors must be placed close to the supply pins, and cable-side routing should minimize exposed stubs. External protection, series resistance, and connector grounding should be selected with the target ESD, surge, and cable-length requirements in mind.
This page consolidates verified manufacturer and distributor information, package details, RS-232 design considerations, and drop-in alternatives into an engineering-focused selection resource. It also distinguishes verified specifications from parameters that still require confirmation from the current manufacturer datasheet.

Aplicações típicas
MAX211CDB é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Multiport Industrial Serial Interface, Legacy Computer Serial Port, Data Acquisition Controller, Test and Measurement Instrument, RS-232 Serial Adapter, Embedded Service Console.
Multiport Industrial Serial Interface
The MAX211CDB fits multiport industrial equipment that must translate several UART channels between logic levels and RS-232 cable signals. Four drivers and five receivers provide useful asymmetry for designs that need more receive channels than transmit channels, while the 120 kbit/s rating supports common legacy serial-control links. Its ±9 V driver swing suits standard RS-232 signaling, and the verified ±15 kV human-body-model protection adds defense at an exposed connector. Validate the industrial temperature grade, grounding strategy, and surge requirements before releasing the design.
Recomendado
Legacy Computer Serial Port
MAX211CDB can bridge a modern controller’s TTL or CMOS UART to a legacy RS-232 computer or peripheral connector. The 5 V supply architecture and integrated charge-pump circuitry allow operation without a separate bipolar supply, reducing board complexity. Four drivers support outbound command channels, and five receivers can accept status or control data. At rates up to 120 kbit/s, it is appropriate for many RS-232 links, although cable length, driver loading, and receiver thresholds must be checked against the actual communication standard and topology.
Recomendado
Data Acquisition Controller
The MAX211CDB is appropriate for data-acquisition equipment that retains RS-232 configuration, trigger, or status ports. Its five receivers can consolidate multiple low-speed signals arriving from an instrument or service connector, while four drivers support outbound control and acknowledgements. The verified 120 kbit/s rate is ample for configuration traffic, and the human-body-model ESD rating of ±15 kV provides useful connector-side protection. Keep external networks short, provide a solid chassis-to-logic grounding strategy, and verify isolation if the instrument can sit at a different earth potential.
Recomendado
Test and Measurement Instrument
MAX211CDB fits test instruments that communicate with legacy computers, printers, fixtures, or service equipment through RS-232. The integrated single-supply charge pump and four-driver/five-receiver arrangement can consolidate several instrument-control lines in one 28-SSOP device. Its 120 kbit/s limit aligns with many diagnostic and configuration protocols rather than high-speed data streaming. For bench instruments connected to user-accessible cables, retain the stated ±15 kV human-body-model protection and consider additional system-level surge protection based on the enclosure and cable environment.
Recomendado
RS-232 Serial Adapter
MAX211CDB can be used in a compact serial adapter that exposes multiple RS-232 ports to a host processor or programmable controller. Four transmit paths and five receive paths provide flexibility for common multiport adapter boards, while the 5 V supply and integrated charge pump simplify board-level power design. Its 120 kbit/s capability covers low- and moderate-speed serial equipment. Engineers should validate every connector assignment against the exact DB-package pinout and preserve separate logic ground and cable-return strategy to avoid introducing ground loops.
Recomendado
Embedded Service Console
MAX211CDB is well matched to embedded equipment that retains a service or commissioning port for configuration, diagnostics, and firmware retrieval. The four drivers support host commands, and the five receivers provide channels for console input, hardware status, and remote acknowledgements. A 120 kbit/s interface is sufficient for many text consoles and avoids the need for a separate negative-voltage supply. In deployed equipment, place the connector near the protection network, maintain a continuous signal-ground return, and verify that shutdown control states do not interfere with boot-time service access.

Principais diferenciais
- Asymmetric four-driver and five-receiver channel count (vs ADM211ARSZ)

- Single 5 V architecture with ±9 V driver swing (vs MAX213CAI)
Notas de projeto
Place the manufacturer-recommended 5 V bypass and charge-pump capacitors directly beside their associated MAX211CDB pins. The SSOP’s short leads reduce resistance but leave little room for long capacitor traces. Keep each charge-pump loop compact, use low-ESR ceramic capacitors with adequate voltage margin, and route the return current without crossing noisy switching nodes. First-power-up voltage and capacitor ripple should be measured on the finished assembly because external trace resistance can materially affect charge-pump behavior.
Do not treat every 28-pin RS-232 transceiver as interchangeable. Before substituting any listed candidate, compare package drawing, pin numbering, charge-pump connections, driver and receiver counts, TTL input thresholds, receiver outputs, shutdown pins, and external resistor networks. A matching data rate and package name are insufficient proof of pin compatibility. Also verify the DB suffix temperature range and lifecycle status against the current Texas Instruments ordering information before using MAX211CDB in an industrial or long-life product.
Route cable-side driver and receiver nets directly toward the protection network and connector. Avoid long parallel runs above split ground planes, and provide a continuous signal-ground return to the connector shell or chassis interface. If additional TVS devices or series resistors are used, confirm their capacitance and resistance at the intended 120 kbit/s data rate. ESD protection rated at ±15 kV human-body model should not be interpreted as complete industrial surge immunity.
Informações de conformidade
The verified snippets mention TIA/EIA-232-F, ITU V.28, and ±15 kV human-body-model ESD protection, but they do not provide explicit RoHS, REACH, lead-free, halogen-free, or conflict-minerals declarations for MAX211CDB. AEC-Q100 is not applicable to this general-purpose RS-232 interface based on the supplied classification data.
