MAX13088ECSA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13088ECSA+ is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver from the MAX13080E family, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates on a single +5.0V supply (4.5V to 5.5V) and supports data rates up to 16Mbps with unrestricted driver slew rates. The device features ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins and fail-safe circuitry that ensures a logic-high receiver output when inputs are open or shorted. It includes hot-swap capability on DE and RE inputs to prevent false transitions during power-up. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC, it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Half-duplex communication architecture for bidirectional data transfer
• Hot-swap input structures on DE and RE pins to eliminate bus contention during insertion
• Fail-safe receiver design guaranteeing high output state under undefined input conditions
• High-speed transmission capability without slew-rate limiting

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Utility Meters
• Industrial Control Systems
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Security Systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' indicates the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), distinct from the extended range variant. Confirm the package type matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance standards as indicated by the '+' designation. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-speed data transmission up to 16Mbps over RS-485 networks. It is suitable for environments where hot-swap functionality is necessary to protect the bus during board insertion. Choose this variant over full-duplex models if only one pair of wires is available for communication. Ensure the operating environment stays within the commercial temperature limits specified for the 'C' suffix.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX13080E family of +5.0V RS-485 transceivers. It shares core architectural features with siblings like the MAX13082E but differs in duplex mode configuration. The family is characterized by robust ESD protection and fail-safe inputs. The MAX13088E specifically targets half-duplex applications, distinguishing it from the full-duplex MAX13080E and MAX13081E within the same series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13082E is a direct functional substitute within the same family, offering identical half-duplex operation and electrical characteristics. Verify that any replacement part maintains the same package dimensions and pinout compatibility.
