MAX14879AWE+

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX14879AWE+ is a high-speed isolated CAN transceiver providing up to 2750VRMS galvanic isolation between the controller and bus sides. It supports data rates up to 1Mbps with a wide supply voltage range of 1.71V to 5.5V on the controller side (VDDA) and 4.5V to 5.5V on the bus side (VDDB). The device features an integrated standby input for low-power operation, ±54V fault protection, and ±15kV ESD protection. It operates over a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in a 16-pin Wide SOIC package.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated galvanic isolation breaks ground loops and reduces noise in environments with large potential differences.
• Standby input allows disabling the driver to place the transceiver in a low-power mode.
• Wide receiver common-mode range and fault tolerance ensure robust communication under harsh conditions.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

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

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official manufacturer documentation to confirm isolation ratings and package type. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements and thermal management needs before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when 2750VRMS isolation is required alongside a standby feature for power management. Compare with MAX14878 or MAX14880 if higher isolation voltages are needed, noting that those variants lack the standby pin.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX14878–MAX14880 family of isolated CAN transceivers. It shares the same 16-pin W SOIC package and general interface characteristics as the MAX14880 but offers lower isolation voltage (2750VRMS vs 5000VRMS).

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX14880AWE+ is a functional substitute offering higher isolation voltage (5000VRMS) while maintaining the same pinout and standby functionality. Verify insulation requirements before substitution.
