MAX3051EKA+T

Overview

The MAX3051EKA+T is a +3.3V, low-supply-current CAN transceiver designed for nonautomotive applications. It supports data rates up to 1Mbps in high-speed mode and up to 500kbps in slope-control mode. The device operates on a single +3.3V supply with a typical dominant state current of 35mA and recessive state current of 2μA. Supply voltage ranges from 3.14V to 3.47V. It features a wide input common-mode range of -7V to +12V and ±12kV human body model ESD protection. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOT-23 package and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Four operating modes including high-speed, slope-control, standby, and shutdown for optimized performance and power consumption.
• Wide common-mode range exceeding ISO 11898 specifications to withstand harsh environments.
• Programmable slew-rate limiting in slope-control mode to reduce electromagnetic interference effects.

Applications

• Printers
• Industrial control and networks
• Telecom backplane
• Consumer applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Confirm that the intended application environment aligns with the nonautomotive design focus of this component. Ensure proper bypassing and layout practices are followed during integration to maintain signal integrity and thermal stability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for systems requiring a 3.3V interface without automotive-grade fault protection requirements. Consider the slope-control mode if unshielded cabling is necessary to mitigate EMI. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed 1Mbps and that the operating temperature falls within the specified industrial range.
