What are the key features of MAX202IPWG4?

  • Dual RS-232 drivers and receivers with Schmitt trigger inputs for superior noise immunity in harsh communication environments
  • EIA-232-F / TIA-232-F / V.28 compliant ensuring broad compatibility with standard serial interface equipment
  • Compact 16-pin TSSOP package enabling space-efficient PCB layout for embedded and industrial communication designs

What is MAX202IPWG4 used for?

The MAX202IPWG4 is ideal for RS-232 serial communication interfaces in industrial controllers, embedded systems, and networking equipment where reliable, noise-immune data transmission is required. Its dual transceiver configuration supports full-duplex UART communications between microcontrollers and external serial peripherals such as modems, GPS modules, and test instruments. The small TSSOP footprint makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained designs requiring standard RS-232 voltage level translation.
