MAX13085EASA-T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13085EASA-T is a half-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates with a single 5V supply and supports data rates up to 500 kbps. The device features 15 kV ESD protection on the bus pins and includes fail-safe circuitry to ensure a high receiver output when the bus is idle. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated 15 kV electrostatic discharge protection for robust bus interface reliability
• Fail-safe receiver design maintains a defined logic state during open-circuit conditions
• Low power consumption suitable for battery-operated or energy-efficient systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control networks
• Building automation and security systems
• Point-to-point multi-drop communication links

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as variations may indicate different packaging formats such as tape and reel versus tube. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for your region. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact pinout and thermal characteristics required for the target PCB layout.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring moderate speed and high noise immunity over short to medium distances. Compare against higher-speed variants if data throughput exceeds 500 kbps. Verify that the 8-pin SOIC footprint aligns with existing board space constraints and thermal management strategies.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated family of robust RS-485/RS-422 transceivers designed for harsh industrial environments. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but is distinguished by its specific combination of speed, voltage, and protection ratings.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MAX13085EESA+ and MAX13085EESA+T. These alternatives offer identical electrical specifications and pinouts, differing primarily in manufacturing batch or initial packaging configuration.
