MAX3082ESA-TG074

Overview

The MAX3082ESA is a single RS-422/RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It supports data rates up to 10 Mbps and features 15 kV ESD protection on the bus pins. The device includes fail-safe circuitry to ensure a high logic state when the bus is idle or disconnected. It operates from a single 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply and utilizes an 8-pin SOIC package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated 15 kV ESD protection for robust bus interface reliability
• Fail-safe receiver design maintains high output during no-connect conditions
• Slew-rate-limited drivers reduce electromagnetic interference

Applications

• Industrial automation control networks
• Building automation systems
• Data acquisition systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may vary. Ensure the supplier provides traceable documentation for quality assurance purposes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed differential communication with strong noise immunity. Consider the 10 Mbps rate and ESD protection levels relative to environmental requirements. Verify voltage compatibility with the system power supply before integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver family, designed for reliable half-duplex communication. It is widely used in industrial environments where signal integrity and protection against electrostatic discharge are critical for long-term operational stability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as the MAX3082EESA variant. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Consult manufacturer cross-reference tools for updated availability and performance matching.
