MAX13088EASA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13088EASA+ is a +5.0V, half-duplex RS-485 transceiver featuring one driver and one receiver with ±15kV ESD protection. It supports data rates up to 16Mbps with unrestricted slew rates. The device includes fail-safe circuitry ensuring a logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted. Hot-swap capability prevents false transitions during power-up or insertion. It operates within the -40°C to +125°C temperature range in an 8-pin SO package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Half-duplex communication architecture
• High-speed transmission up to 16Mbps
• Integrated hot-swap input structures
• Fail-safe receiver design

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Utility Meters
• Industrial Control
• Profibus Networks

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' indicates the extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and 'S' denotes the 8-pin SO package. Confirm '+ ' signifies lead-free/RoHS compliance. Ensure the component matches the Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated origin for the MAX13088E part number before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-speed half-duplex RS-485 communication without slew-rate limiting. It is suitable for environments demanding operation up to +125°C. Unlike the MAX13089E, it lacks pin-selectable duplex modes or programmable slew rates, offering a fixed 16Mbps performance profile.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX13080E–MAX13089E family of +5.0V RS-485 transceivers. It shares core features like ESD protection and fail-safe logic with siblings but is distinct as a dedicated half-duplex device. It differs from full-duplex variants by sharing driver outputs with receiver inputs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13082E is a direct functional substitute within the same family, offering identical half-duplex operation and 16Mbps speed. Verify package compatibility (SO vs PDIP) and temperature grade requirements when substituting.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers FAQ

Does the MAX13088E support full-duplex operation?

No, the MAX13088E is designed exclusively for half-duplex communications.

What is the maximum data rate for this device?

The device supports transmit speeds up to 16Mbps due to its unrestricted driver slew rate.

How does the fail-safe feature behave with open inputs?

It guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted.
