MAX202E–MAX213E,
MAX232E/MAX241E
±15kV ESD-Protected, +5V RS-232 Transceivers
General Description
The MAX202E–MAX213E, MAX232E/MAX241E line
drivers/receivers are designed for RS-232 and V.28
communications in harsh environments. Each transmitter
output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV
electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup.
The various combinations of features are outlined in the
Selector Guide.
The drivers and receivers for all ten
devices meet all EIA/TIA-232E and CCITT V.28
specifications at data rates up to 120kbps, when loaded
in accordance with the EIA/TIA-232E specification.
The MAX211E/MAX213E/MAX241E are available in 28-
pin SO packages, as well as a 28-pin SSOP that uses
60% less board space. The MAX202E/MAX232E come
in 16-pin TSSOP, narrow SO, wide SO, and DIP
packages. The MAX203E comes in a 20-pin DIP/SO
package, and needs no external charge-pump
capacitors. The MAX205E comes in a 24-pin wide DIP
package, and also eliminates external charge-pump
capacitors. The MAX206E/MAX207E/MAX208E come in
24-pin SO, SSOP, and narrow DIP packages. The
MAX232E/MAX241E operate with four 1µF capacitors,
while the MAX202E/MAX206E/MAX207E/MAX208E/
MAX211E/MAX213E operate with four 0.1µF capacitors,
further reducing cost and board space.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
