MAX14787EGSA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14787EGSA+T is a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver designed for robust communication in harsh industrial environments. It operates from a 3.0V to 5.5V supply with a maximum no-load supply current of 4mA. The device features ±35kV ESD protection on the RS-485 I/O ports and includes slew-rate limited outputs to minimize electromagnetic interference. It supports data rates up to 500kbps and offers true fail-safe receiver functionality, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protected outputs.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Full-duplex operation with integrated slew-rate limiting for reduced EMI
• Robust ±35kV HBM ESD protection on RS-485 pins
• True fail-safe receiver guarantees logic high when inputs are open or shorted
• Short-circuit protected outputs with thermal shutdown circuitry

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Motion Controllers
• Encoder Interfaces
• HVAC Control Systems
• Utility Meters

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the manufacturer's marking against official datasheet specifications. Confirm the package type matches the required footprint and ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the system design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring full-duplex RS-485 communication with high ESD immunity. It is suitable for space-constrained designs due to its 8-pin SO package. Ensure the application does not require independent driver/receiver enable control, as these are permanently active on this specific model variant.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX14784E/MAX14786E/MAX14787E/MAX14789E family of full-duplex RS-485 transceivers. It is specifically optimized for space-constrained applications compared to the 14-pin variants in the same series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX14789EGSA+T is a confirmed substitute within the same family, offering 25Mbps speed but lacking slew-rate limiting. Other family members like MAX14784EASD+ offer similar features but in a 14-pin package.
