MAX14820ETG+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14820ETG+T is a single-channel IO-Link compliant device transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 36 V and supports data rates up to 38.4 kbps. The component features an integrated low-dropout regulator (LDO) for internal logic power, reducing external bill-of-materials. It utilizes a TQFN-EP-24 package suitable for surface-mount assembly. The device functions as a physical layer interface between UART-based controllers and IO-Link sensors or actuators.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ETG+T against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and check for any recent lifecycle status changes such as obsolescence or last-time buy notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing IO-Link Device ports requiring a single-channel solution. Compare against the MAX14829 if dual-channel capability is needed. Verify that the 4.5 V minimum operating voltage aligns with the system's available power rails and that the TQFN-24 package fits the mechanical constraints of the enclosure.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated IO-Link transceiver family, designed specifically for Industry 4.0 applications. It serves as the physical layer bridge connecting microcontrollers to field devices. The series includes variants like the MAX14827 and MAX14829, offering different channel counts and feature sets for scalable industrial design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX14829ATG+T is a dual-channel alternative within the same product family. Designers requiring two IO-Link ports may consider this substitute, though it requires verifying pin compatibility and software driver adjustments for the additional channel.
