MAX13085EASA

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13085EASA is a half-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates one driver and one receiver within an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. The device operates at data rates up to 500 kb/s with a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V. It features ±15 kV ESD protection on the bus pins and includes fail-safe circuitry to ensure a high logic state when inputs are open. The component supports operation across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated ±15 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on signal lines
• Fail-safe receiver design guarantees a high logic state for open inputs
• Half-duplex communication capability for RS-422 and RS-485 protocols

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation networks
• Motor drive and control interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as variations may indicate different packaging or temperature grades. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer declarations. Ensure the source provides valid traceability for quality assurance purposes before finalizing acquisition.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust ESD protection and reliable fault handling in noisy environments. The 500 kb/s speed suits moderate-rate serial communications. Verify that the half-duplex architecture aligns with system timing requirements compared to full-duplex alternatives.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver family, designed for robust serial communication. It shares functional similarities with other devices in the series but is distinguished by its specific speed rating and half-duplex configuration within the standard 8-pin SOIC form factor.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13085EESA+ serves as a lead-free compliant alternative within the same product line. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully to ensure compatibility during replacement.
