MAX13413EESA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13413EESA+T is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver featuring an internal low-dropout regulator and proprietary AutoDirection control. It operates from a supply voltage range of +6V to +28V, with the internal LDO generating a stable +5V output capable of sourcing up to 20mA for external circuitry. The device supports data rates up to 16Mbps without slew-rate limiting and includes ±15kV Human Body Model ESD protection on the A and B pins. Packaged in an 8-pin SOIC with an exposed paddle, it provides fail-safe receiver outputs and allows up to 256 units on the bus.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• AutoDirection architecture eliminates separate driver enable and receiver enable signals by automatically controlling transmission direction based on the DI input state.
• Integrated low-dropout regulator enables operation from unregulated power supplies up to 28V while providing a regulated 5V output for auxiliary components.
• Enhanced electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±15kV on the differential bus lines using the Human Body Model standard.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free designation through manufacturer certificates. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required thermal pad exposure and pinout specifications for the target application design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-voltage input ranges up to 28V are required without external regulation. The integrated 5V LDO output simplifies designs needing isolated power for downstream logic. Choose this model over slew-rate limited variants when maximum throughput speeds near 16Mbps are necessary for the network topology.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX13410E–MAX13415E family of RS-485 transceivers designed for isolated applications. While sharing the internal LDO and robust ESD protection features, the MAX13413E specifically combines full-speed data transmission capabilities with the AutoDirection control scheme found in the MAX13412E series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13412E offers identical functionality but with reduced slew-rate drivers limited to 500kbps. The MAX13411E provides full-speed operation but lacks the AutoDirection feature and requires discrete DE/RE control signals.
