MAX13083EEPD

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13083EEPD is a half-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5.0V supply and supports data rates up to 500kbps. The device features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, true fail-safe receivers, and hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins. It is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package with a narrow body (0.300 inch). The operational temperature range extends from -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated ±15kV ESD protection for robust communication in electrically noisy environments
• Hot-swap capability on driver enable and receiver enable inputs prevents bus contention during power-up
• True fail-safe receiver ensures a high logic output state when inputs are open or floating

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring reliable serial communication
• Building automation networks utilizing RS-485 multi-drop topologies
• Metering applications involving energy or water consumption data transmission

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PDIP' confirms the through-hole plastic dual-in-line package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older Maxim parts may have leaded options. Check current availability as this component series may be subject to lifecycle changes or limited distribution channels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring through-hole mounting and moderate speed RS-485 connectivity. Ensure the system voltage matches the +5.0V requirement. Consider the 500kbps limit against higher-speed alternatives like the MAX13088 if faster data throughput is necessary for the application.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX1308x family of +5.0V RS-485/RS-422 transceivers. It shares core features such as ESD protection and fail-safe operation with siblings like the MAX13080 and MAX13084, differing primarily in package type and specific data rate capabilities within the family lineup.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other variants in the MAX1308x series such as the MAX13080EESA+ or MAX13084EESA+, provided the package and speed requirements align with the design constraints.
