MAX13085EASA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13085EASA+ is a +5.0V, ±15kV ESD-protected RS-485 transceiver featuring one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SO package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports data rates up to 500kbps with slew-rate-limited drivers. The device draws 1.2mA typical supply current and enters a shutdown mode consuming 2.8µA to 10µA. It guarantees fail-safe logic-high outputs when inputs are open or shorted and includes hot-swap capability on DE and RE pins.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Hot-swap input structures on DE and RE eliminate false transitions during power-up or bus insertion
• True fail-safe receiver ensures logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted while maintaining EIA/TIA-485 compatibility
• Enhanced slew-rate limiting minimizes electromagnetic interference and reduces reflections for error-free transmission

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Utility Meters
• Industrial Control Systems
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Profibus Networks

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EASA+' against official documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and temperature range specifications. Confirm pinout alignment with the 8-pin SO package before integration. Ensure the design accommodates the required 0.1µF bypass capacitor near the VCC pin for stable operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust protection against electrostatic discharge and bus faults. The integrated fail-safe circuitry provides reliable communication even under abnormal line conditions. Verify that the 500kbps maximum data rate meets system requirements, as higher speeds require different family members.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX13080E–MAX13089E family of high-speed RS-485 transceivers manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. The family shares common features such as +5.0V operation and ESD protection, but varies in duplex mode, data rate capabilities, and package options across different model numbers.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13084EASA+ serves as a functional substitute within the same family, offering identical electrical characteristics and pin configurations for full-duplex applications.
