MAX14878AWE+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14878AWE+T is a high-speed isolated CAN transceiver providing 5000VRMS galvanic isolation between the controller and bus sides. It supports data rates up to 1Mbps with a wide VDDA supply range of 1.71V to 5.5V and VDDB from 4.5V to 5.5V. The device features ±25V common-mode input range, ±54V fault protection, and ±15kV ESD protection on bus pins. Operating over -40°C to +125°C, it utilizes an 8mm creepage W 16-SOIC package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated capacitive isolation barrier for robust communication in noisy environments
• Wide receiver common-mode range and fault tolerance for reliable signal detection
• Dominant timeout protection prevents erroneous bus clamping by controllers
• Thermal shutdown safeguards against excessive power dissipation

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial Controls
• HVAC Systems
• Building Automation
• Switching Gear

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and reel configuration. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards as indicated by the plus sign. Confirm that the 16-pin Wide SOIC footprint matches the design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this part when 5000VRMS isolation is required without a standby pin. Compare against MAX14879 or MAX14880 if low-power standby functionality is needed. Verify voltage levels match the controller interface and bus side requirements.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX14878–MAX14880 family of isolated CAN transceivers. It shares the same core architecture as the MAX14878AWA+ but differs in packaging and tape-and-reel delivery format. The family provides varying isolation voltages and standby options.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

MAX14878AWE+ serves as the non-tape equivalent. MAX14879AWE+T offers identical isolation but includes a standby pin. MAX14880AWE+T provides similar specs with standby control.
