MAX13081EESA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13081EESA+T is a +5.0V, full-duplex RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features one driver and one receiver with enhanced slew-rate limiting to minimize EMI and reduce reflections, supporting error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. The device includes fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a logic-high receiver output when inputs are open or shorted. It offers ±15kV human body model ESD protection on I/O pins and incorporates hot-swap input structures on the DE and RE pins to eliminate false transitions during bus insertion. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and is available in an 8-pin SO package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Enhanced slew-rate limiting facilitates error-free data transmission up to 250kbps while minimizing electromagnetic interference.
• Hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins prevent false transitions during power-up or hot insertion.
• True fail-safe receiver ensures a logic-high output when receiver inputs are open, shorted, or disconnected.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Confirm the 'E' designation corresponds to the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Ensure the '+' suffix confirms lead-free and RoHS compliance status as per manufacturer specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring full-duplex RS-485 communication at speeds up to 250kbps. It is suitable for environments where reduced EMI and reflection mitigation are critical. Verify compatibility with systems requiring hot-swap capability and fail-safe operation under open-bus conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX13080E–MAX13089E family of +5.0V, ±15kV ESD-protected, fail-safe, hot-swap RS-485 transceivers. The MAX13081E specifically designates the full-duplex variant with enhanced slew-rate limiting for 250kbps operation. The family shares common robustness features including thermal shutdown and high noise immunity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13081ECSA+T is a pin-compatible alternative offering the same electrical characteristics in a different package variant. Other family members like the MAX13080E provide similar functionality but may differ in duplex mode or speed capabilities.
