MAX13410EESA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13410EESA+ is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver optimized for isolated applications. It features an internal low-dropout regulator (LDO) that generates a 5V ±10% supply, enabling operation from unregulated inputs between +6V and +28V. The device includes one driver and one receiver with a maximum data rate of 500kbps. It utilizes reduced slew-rate drivers to minimize EMI and reflections. The unit load receiver input impedance supports up to 256 transceivers on the bus. Fail-safe circuitry guarantees a logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted. It operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Internal LDO enables direct connection to high-voltage unregulated power supplies
• Reduced slew-rate drivers minimize electromagnetic interference and signal reflections
• Fail-safe circuitry ensures a defined logic-high state during bus faults
• Industry-compatible pinout facilitates replacement in existing designs

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Isolated RS-485 interfaces
• Utility meters
• Industrial equipment
• Telecommunications equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required package type and thermal performance characteristics. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate electrical parameters against current production standards.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this model for systems requiring operation from unregulated voltages up to 28V without external regulators. Choose this variant over AutoDirection versions when manual control of driver enable and receiver output signals is preferred. Verify that the 500kbps data rate meets system requirements, as higher-speed variants exist within the same family.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX13410E–MAX13415E series of RS-485 transceivers designed for isolated applications. Unlike other members in the series, it lacks the proprietary AutoDirection control feature found in the MAX13412E/MAX13413E models. It provides industry-compatible pinouts for easy integration into legacy designs while offering enhanced robustness through integrated protection features.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the MAX13410E–MAX13415E series such as the MAX13411EESA+, which offers full-speed operation. Ensure compatibility regarding the absence of the VREG output pin and verify that the specific slew-rate limitations align with the target application's signal integrity requirements.
