MAX13087EAPA

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13087EAPA is a +5.0V RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, true fail-safe receiver operation, and hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins. The device supports data rates up to 16 Mb/s with enhanced slew-rate limiting. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and functions across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in an 8-pin DIP format, it provides full-duplex communication capabilities for robust serial data transmission.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated ±15kV ESD protection on RS-485/RS-422 I/O pins for enhanced signal integrity
• Hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins allow safe insertion without system disruption
• True fail-safe receiver ensures a high logic output state when inputs are open or floating

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust serial communication
• Building automation networks utilizing RS-485 protocols
• Data acquisition systems exposed to harsh electrical environments

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type against design requirements, as the MAX13087 series includes both SOIC and DIP variants. Confirm that the + suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and pin configuration for the target PCB layout.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when full-duplex communication is necessary alongside high ESD immunity. Compare against half-duplex alternatives if power consumption is critical. Verify that the 16 Mb/s data rate aligns with network timing constraints. Consider the DIP package availability if through-hole mounting is mandated by mechanical assembly processes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX13080E–MAX13089E family of +5.0V RS-485/RS-422 transceivers. These devices share common architectural features such as fail-safe receivers and hot-swap inputs. The MAX13087 specifically offers higher data rates compared to lower-speed variants like the MAX13084, providing flexibility for faster industrial bus applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the MAX1308x family, such as the MAX13084 or MAX13089, provided pin compatibility and speed requirements are met. Verify that replacement parts maintain the same DIP-8 package and +5.0V operation characteristics.
