MAX13488EESA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX13488EESA+ is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 compatible transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It integrates one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SOIC package. The device operates on a single 5V supply with a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V. It supports data transmission rates up to 16Mbps without slew-rate limiting. Key electrical specifications include a quiescent current of 4.5mA, a power dissipation of 471mW, and a receiver input impedance of 1/4 unit load, allowing up to 128 nodes on the bus. It features ±15kV ESD protection on all outputs and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Includes proprietary automatic direction control functionality that combines driver input with drive enable signals for simplified interface design.
• Provides thermal shutdown protection to eliminate bus errors during power-up or hot-plugging events.
• Offers ±15kV human body model electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on all driver outputs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Isolated RS-485 port interfaces
• Industrial communication networks
• Motor drive and control systems

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity through official Analog Devices channels or authorized distributors. Confirm the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging if required, while 'EESA+' denotes the standard tube variant. Ensure the order matches the exact pinout and RoHS compliance status documented in the manufacturer's datasheet.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed data rates up to 16Mbps are required for RS-485 applications. It is suitable for designs needing automatic direction control to reduce external logic complexity. Consider the MAX13487E variant if lower electromagnetic interference via slew-rate limiting at speeds up to 500kbps is preferred over maximum throughput.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1348x series of 5V, half-duplex transceivers. It shares the same package and basic interface protocols as the MAX13487E but differs in driver performance characteristics. The MAX13488E specifically lacks slew-rate limiting to support higher bandwidths compared to its siblings in the family.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX13487EESA+ is a related variant within the same series. It offers similar functionality but includes a reduced-slope driver optimized for minimizing electromagnetic interference at speeds up to 500kbps. Verify if the application requires the full 16Mbps capability or benefits from the slower edge rates of the MAX13487.
