MAX202IDR

Texas Instruments · RS232 ICs · SOIC-16

MAX202IDR from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 C1+ passive Positive lead of the C1 charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect one terminal of a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
2 V+ power_out Positive charge-pump output, nominally +10V. Connect a 0.1µF storage capacitor from V+ to GND. Absolute maximum 14V referenced to GND.
3 C1- passive Negative lead of the C1 charge-pump flying capacitor. Pair with C1+ (pin 1) via a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
4 C2+ passive Positive lead of the C2 charge-pump flying capacitor. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between C2+ and C2-.
5 C2- passive Negative lead of the C2 charge-pump flying capacitor. Pair with C2+ (pin 4) via a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
6 V- power_out Negative charge-pump output, nominally -10V. Connect a 0.1µF storage capacitor from V- to GND. Absolute maximum -14V referenced to GND.
7 DOUT2 output RS-232 line data output for driver channel 2, drives a remote RS-232 receiver. Swings between V+ and V- levels (typ ±9V into 3kΩ). ±15kV HBM ESD protected.
8 RIN2 input RS-232 line data input for receiver channel 2, from a remote RS-232 driver. 5kΩ typical input resistance; withstands ±30V input. ±15kV HBM ESD protected. Thresholds ~1.2V (falling) / 1.7V (rising).
9 ROUT2 output CMOS logic data output for receiver channel 2, connects to the local UART RX. VOH ≥ VCC-0.4V at -1mA; VOL ≤ 0.4V at 1.6mA.
10 DIN2 input CMOS logic data input for driver channel 2, driven from the local UART TX. VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V; input range 0-5.5V.
11 DIN1 input CMOS logic data input for driver channel 1, driven from the local UART TX. VIH ≥ 2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V; input range 0-5.5V.
12 ROUT1 output CMOS logic data output for receiver channel 1, connects to the local UART RX. VOH ≥ VCC-0.4V at -1mA; VOL ≤ 0.4V at 1.6mA.
13 RIN1 input RS-232 line data input for receiver channel 1, from a remote RS-232 driver. 5kΩ typical input resistance; withstands ±30V input. ±15kV HBM ESD protected.
14 DOUT1 output RS-232 line data output for driver channel 1, drives a remote RS-232 receiver. Swings between V+ and V- levels (typ ±9V into 3kΩ). ±15kV HBM ESD protected.
15 GND power_in Device ground reference. All voltages are referenced to this pin.
16 VCC power_in Supply voltage. Connect to external 5V supply (4.5V-5.5V recommended). Bypass locally with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. ICC typ 8mA (no load).

CAD (KiCad official)

  • 3D model: SOIC-16 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
max202idr.step 217 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
max202idr-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with MAX202IDR already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 571 faces against 267 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (27 pp, sha256 77db8a8164634404, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
