Maxim Integrated MAX13087ECSA RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver

The MAX13087ECSA is a high-performance, half-duplex transceiver from Maxim Integrated, designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols. This device is an ideal choice for applications requiring high-speed, bidirectional communication in harsh industrial environments. With its robust design and advanced features, the MAX13087ECSA ensures reliable data transmission over long cable runs or in electrically noisy conditions.

Key Features

• Integrated Protection: The transceiver comes with built-in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, which exceeds ±15kV using the Human Body Model (HBM), ensuring the device's resilience against transient voltage spikes and enhancing system reliability.
• Wide Operating Voltage Range: It operates from a single +5V supply, with a wide voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, making it suitable for a variety of power environments.
• High Data Rates: Capable of supporting data rates up to 16Mbps, the MAX13087ECSA is well-suited for high-speed data transmission applications.
• Extended Temperature Range: The device is operational over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making it reliable in extreme conditions.
• Fail-Safe Receiver: The fail-safe feature ensures a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled.
• Reduced Power Consumption: Low quiescent current of 375µA (typical) and 500µA (max) makes this transceiver an energy-efficient option for power-sensitive applications.
• Thermal Shutdown: The MAX13087ECSA includes a thermal shutdown feature to protect the device from damage due to excessive power dissipation.
