MAX14789EGSA+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14789EGSA+T is a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver designed for high-speed 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 supports data rates up to 25Mbps and features ±35kV ESD protection on the RS-485 I/O ports. It includes true fail-safe receiver circuitry, thermal shutdown, and short-circuit protected outputs. The component is housed in an 8-pin SO package and operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports full-duplex or half-duplex configurations with integrated driver and receiver enable/disable functionality.
• Provides robust signal integrity through true fail-safe receivers that guarantee a logic-high output when inputs are open or shorted.
• Features enhanced electrostatic discharge protection rated at ±35kV (HBM) on RS-485 pins to withstand harsh handling conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and data rate specifications for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed full-duplex RS-485 communication within space-constrained designs. The 8-pin SO package is suitable for compact layouts. Verify that the system voltage falls within the 3.0V to 5.5V range and that the 25Mbps data rate meets the network requirements without excessive capacitive loading.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX14784E/MAX14786E/MAX14787E/MAX14789E family of full-duplex RS-485 transceivers. While sharing similar core protection features like ±35kV ESD immunity and fail-safe operation, this specific model is distinguished by its 25Mbps data rate capability and 8-pin SO packaging optimized for space-constrained industrial applications.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX14787EGSA+ serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative within the same series, offering identical 8-pin SO packaging and temperature range but limited to a 500kbps data rate due to slew-rate limiting features.
