MAX13184EESD+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13184EESD+T is a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +5.0V supply (4.5V to 5.5V) and supports data rates up to 16Mbps. The device features extended ESD protection rated at ±15kV Human Body Model, ±12kV IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, and ±6kV Contact Discharge. It incorporates a low-current shutdown mode with typical current of 2.5µA. The receiver input impedance is 1/8 unit load, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. It is housed in a 14-pin SO package and operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Full-duplex operation with integrated pullup/pulldown resistors on control inputs
• Extended electrostatic discharge protection for driver outputs and receiver inputs
• Low-current shutdown mode designed for power-sensitive applications
• 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance supporting high node counts

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing this component. Confirm the lead-free status associated with the '+' designation aligns with project requirements. Ensure the 14-pin SO package variant matches the intended PCB footprint. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select the MAX13184EESD+T for applications requiring dedicated full-duplex communication without pin-selectable mode switching. This model is suitable where space constraints allow for a 14-pin SO package rather than the smaller µDFN option. Consider the 16Mbps data rate capability for high-speed serial links. Evaluate the need for the specific low-power shutdown feature if power management is critical.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX13181E–MAX13184E family of +5.0V RS-485 transceivers. The MAX13184E specifically provides full-duplex functionality, distinguishing it from the half/full-duplex selectable MAX13181E and MAX13183E models. It shares the same compact design philosophy and ESD protection levels as its siblings but is optimized for simultaneous transmit and receive operations.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same family include MAX13184EELB+ (µDFN package). Other compatible full-duplex RS-485 transceivers may require verification of voltage levels, data rates, and package dimensions.
