MAX13081ECPA

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13081ECPA is a low-power, full-duplex RS-422 and RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with a single +5V supply and features one driver and one receiver. The device supports data rates up to 250 kbps and includes 15 kV ESD protection on all pins. It utilizes an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Provides robust communication via integrated 15 kV ESD protection on all signal pins.
• Ensures reliable data transmission through fail-safe circuitry that defaults the receiver output to a high state during idle conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable serial communication
• Building automation networks utilizing RS-485 protocols
• Metering equipment in utility infrastructure

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure the component source is traceable to prevent counterfeit parts in critical applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing full-duplex interfaces requiring moderate data speeds and high noise immunity. Compare pinout compatibility with existing designs if substituting from other transceiver families. Verify power supply constraints align with the specified +5V operating voltage requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1308x family of high-performance RS-422/RS-485 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX13080 and MAX13089 but differs in data rate capabilities and package configurations. The series is designed for harsh industrial environments requiring robust signal integrity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13081ECSA+ serves as a surface-mount alternative within the same family. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Other members of the MAX1308x series may offer different speed ratings or packaging options suitable for similar interface needs.
