MAX14783EATA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14783EATA+T is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver in an 8-pin TDFN-EP package. It operates on a 3.0V to 5.5V supply with a maximum data rate of 42Mbps and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. The device features ±35kV HBM ESD protection, ±20kV IEC 61000-4-2 air gap protection, and short-circuit protected outputs. Shutdown current is limited to 10µA maximum.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated hot-swap capability prevents false transitions during power-up or hot insertion
• True fail-safe receiver ensures logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted
• High electromagnetic immunity with ±35kV HBM and ±20kV IEC 61000-4-2 air gap ESD protection
• Short-circuit protected outputs with thermal shutdown at +160°C

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Motion Controllers
• Field Bus Networks
• Encoder Interfaces
• Backplane Busses

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ATA' corresponds to the 8-pin TDFN-EP package and the -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the ordering code matches the exact tape-and-reel quantity specified in the official datasheet for this variant.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed RS-485 communication up to 42Mbps in extended temperature environments. The TDFN-EP package provides superior thermal dissipation compared to SOIC or µMAX variants. Verify that the system bus topology supports up to 32 units loads and utilizes the integrated fail-safe and hot-swap features for robust operation.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX14783E family of high-speed RS-485 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with the MAX14783EESA+ (SO package) and MAX14783EEUA+ (µMAX package), but offers an extended temperature range and higher data rates specifically enabled by the TDFN-EP package construction.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other MAX14783E variants such as MAX14783EESA+ or MAX14783EAUA+, provided the package type change is acceptable. Verify that the alternative package meets the thermal and temperature requirements of the target application.
