MAX13088EESA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13088EESA+ 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 integrates one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SO package. Key electrical characteristics include ±15kV ESD protection on I/O pins, fail-safe circuitry ensuring a logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted, and a typical supply current of 1.8mA. It functions within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Hot-swap capability on DE and RE inputs prevents false bus transitions during power-up or hot insertion
• Fail-safe receiver guarantees a logic-high output state when differential inputs are open or shorted
• Extended electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV for RS-485 I/O pins

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Utility Meters
• Industrial Control Systems
• Telecommunications Equipment
• Profibus Networks

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EESA+' against official documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and package type. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors as supply constraints may apply. Ensure the ordering code matches the required half-duplex configuration and thermal grade before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed RS-485 communication up to 16Mbps without slew-rate limiting. It is suitable for systems needing robust hot-swap protection and fail-safe behavior on the bus. Verify that the system operates within the specified +5.0V supply voltage and extended industrial temperature range requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX13080E–MAX13089E series of +5.0V, ±15kV ESD-protected, fail-safe RS-485 transceivers. The MAX13088E specifically designates the half-duplex variant within this family, distinguishing it from full-duplex models like the MAX13080E or programmable variants like the MAX13089E.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13082E is a direct functional substitute within the same family, sharing identical half-duplex operation, pinout, and electrical specifications.
