Key Featrues

Integrated High ±15kV HBM ESD Protection: This feature ensures robust protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to ±15kV, enhancing the reliability and durability of the transceiver in environments prone to static electricity. This is particularly beneficial for portable and handheld devices, reducing the risk of damage during handling or operation.
Integrated Charge Pump Circuitry: The built-in charge pump eliminates the need for an external bipolar ±12V power supply, enabling single +5V supply operation. This simplifies the power supply design, reduces component count, and saves board space, making it ideal for compact and battery-powered applications.
1µA Shutdown Mode: The transceiver includes a low-power shutdown mode that consumes only 1µA, significantly reducing power consumption when the device is not in active use. This feature is crucial for battery-powered equipment, extending battery life and improving energy efficiency.
Integrated 0.1µF Capacitors (MAX203E, MAX205E): These integrated capacitors reduce the need for external components, further saving board space and simplifying the design. This is particularly advantageous for space-constrained applications like portable diagnostics equipment.
24-Pin SSOP Package: The small outline package (SSOP) saves up to 40% space compared to traditional SO packages, making it suitable for compact designs. This feature is especially useful in handheld and portable devices where space optimization is critical.
