MAX13080EAPD+T RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver

The MAX13080EAPD+T is a high-performance, half-duplex transceiver from Maxim Integrated, designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication interfaces. This device is particularly well-suited for long-distance and high-speed applications where signal integrity and reliability are paramount.

Key Features

• High Data Rates: Supports data rates up to 16Mbps, making it ideal for high-speed data communication in industrial, networking, and telecom applications.
• Extended Temperature Range: Operates reliably over an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in harsh environments.
• Integrated Protection: Features robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection up to ±15kV (Human Body Model) on the transceiver's input and output pins, providing enhanced durability and reducing the risk of damage from static electricity.
• Low Power Operation: With a low quiescent current, the MAX13080EAPD+T is optimized for power-sensitive applications.
• Fail-Safe Feature: Includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees a known output state if the inputs are open, shorted, or idle, enhancing data integrity.
• Hot-Swap Capability: Allows for insertion or removal of the transceiver on a live bus without causing data corruption or disruption on the bus.

Applications

The MAX13080EAPD+T is designed for diverse applications that require robust and reliable data transmission. It is commonly used in:

• Industrial Control Systems
• Building Automation
• Network Equipment
• Security Systems

Package and Supply

The transceiver is available in a 14-pin TSSOP package, which offers a compact footprint for space-constrained applications. It is also provided in tape and reel packaging, denoted by the +T suffix, facilitating efficient handling and manufacturing for high-volume production. The MAX13080EAPD+T operates from a single 3.3V supply, minimizing power requirements and simplifying power supply design.
