Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific tape-and-reel packaging quantities prior to ordering. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation matching the MAX13481EETE+T part number to avoid counterfeit risks.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing half-duplex RS-485 interfaces requiring moderate data speeds up to 250 kb/s. It is suitable for applications needing high ESD immunity and low quiescent current. Consider the TDFN-EP-10 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management requirements during the design phase.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This transceiver belongs to the MAX134xx series of low-power RS-485/RS-422 devices. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX13487 but differs in specific pin configurations and electrical characteristics. The series is designed for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial communication nodes.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MAX13487EETE+T and MAX13489EETE+T, which offer similar electrical performance and pinouts. Verify compatibility regarding ESD ratings and shutdown logic before implementation.
