MAX13410EESA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13410EESA+T is a half-duplex RS-485-compatible transceiver optimized for isolated applications. It features an internal low-dropout regulator (LDO) allowing operation from an unregulated supply of +6V to +28V, generating a stable +5V ±10% internal power rail. The device includes one driver and one receiver with a 1/8-unit load input impedance, supporting up to 256 nodes on the bus. It operates at data rates up to 500kbps with slew-rate limiting to minimize EMI. The component provides enhanced ESD protection rated at ±14kV Human Body Model and incorporates fail-safe circuitry to guarantee a logic-high receiver output when inputs are open or shorted.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Internal low-dropout regulator enables direct connection to high-voltage unregulated power supplies without external regulation components.
• Slew-rate limited drivers reduce electromagnetic interference and signal reflections on improperly terminated cables.
• Fail-safe receiver circuitry ensures a defined logic-high state during bus idle conditions or input faults.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Isolated RS-485 communication interfaces
• Utility metering systems
• Industrial equipment networking

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration against official manufacturer documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free material specifications prior to integration. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package variant required for the target PCB footprint.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing isolated RS-485 networks requiring simplified power management through integrated voltage regulation. The fixed 500kbps data rate and slew-rate limiting make it suitable for noise-sensitive industrial environments where signal integrity is prioritized over maximum throughput.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX13410E–MAX13415E series of RS-485 transceivers designed by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. The series differentiates models based on data rate capabilities and control interface architectures, specifically distinguishing between standard DE/RE pin control and proprietary AutoDirection functionality found in other variants within the same family.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same series include the MAX13411EESA+T for higher speed requirements, though functional differences exist regarding data rate limits and control logic. Verify thermal dissipation characteristics and LDO current sourcing capabilities when substituting across the series.
