MAX14780EEPA+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14780EEPA+ is a half-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates with a single 5V supply and supports data rates up to 500 kb/s. The device features 30kV ESD protection, fail-safe receivers, and hot-swap capability. It is housed in an 8-PDIP package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated 30kV ESD protection for robust communication in electrically noisy environments
• Fail-safe receiver design ensures a high logic output state when inputs are open or floating
• Hot-swap functionality allows connection to live buses without damaging the device

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Building automation networks
• Process control instrumentation

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix EEPA+ against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the PDIP-8 package type and leaded construction. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring reliable half-duplex communication over short distances at moderate speeds. The 500 kb/s rate suits many industrial protocols. Ensure the system voltage matches the 5V requirement. Consider the PDIP package for prototyping or through-hole assembly needs rather than surface-mount constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX14780E series of RS-485/RS-422 transceivers. It shares core electrical characteristics with other variants like MAX14780EESA+, differing primarily in packaging. The series is designed for robust serial communication in harsh industrial environments requiring high ESD immunity.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX14780EESA+ offers identical electrical performance in an SOIC-8 surface-mount package. Verify pin compatibility if substituting between DIP and SOIC formats. No direct functional replacements are documented; consider the broader MAX1478x family for similar interface requirements.
