MAX13082ECPA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13082ECPA+ is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +5.0V supply (4.5V to 5.5V) and features one driver and one receiver. The device supports data transmission rates up to 250kbps with reduced slew-rate drivers to minimize EMI. It includes ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, fail-safe circuitry ensuring a logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted, and hot-swap capability on the DE and RE pins. The component is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Half-duplex communication architecture with integrated fail-safe receiver circuitry
• Hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins to prevent false transitions during power-up
• Enhanced slew-rate limiting for error-free data transmission at lower speeds
• Extended electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on RS-485 I/O pins

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPA+' against official documentation to confirm the lead-free/RoHS-compliant status and the 8-pin PDIP package configuration. Ensure the extended temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C) matches the design requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer's current production status as availability may vary.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust half-duplex RS-485 communication with high ESD immunity. The reduced slew rate makes it suitable for noisy environments or improperly terminated cables where signal integrity at 250kbps is critical. Verify that the 8-pin DIP package fits the PCB layout constraints compared to SOIC alternatives.

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 MAX13082E specifically denotes the half-duplex variant with slew-rate-limited drivers optimized for 250kbps operation. Other family members offer full-duplex modes or higher speed capabilities.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13082EASA+ serves as a surface-mount alternative within the same family, offering identical electrical characteristics but in an 8-SOIC package. Both parts share the same core functionality and pinout compatibility.
