MAX3071EESA

The MAX3071EESA from Analog Devices is a 3.3V transceiver featuring ±15kV ESD protection and fail-safe circuitry, ensuring reliable logic-high receiver output when inputs are open or shorted. This device is designed for full-duplex communication and supports RS-422 and RS-485 protocols.

With a data rate of up to 250kbps, the MAX3071EESA is suitable for various applications requiring robust serial communication. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (TA) and draws 800μA of supply current when unloaded. The receiver input impedance is 1/8 unit load, allowing for up to 256 transceivers on a single bus.

This transceiver is available in an 8-SOIC package and is designed for surface mount applications. It offers enhanced slew-rate limiting for error-free data transmission and includes hot-swap capability on DE and RE pins to prevent false transitions during power-up or hot insertion.

Key features include true fail-safe receiver operation, compatibility with EIA/TIA-485 standards, and a flexible feature set for ease of design. The device is ideal for applications such as lighting systems, industrial control, telecom, security systems, and instrumentation.
