MAX3095EPE

Overview

The MAX3095EPE is a quad RS-422/RS-485 receiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated in a 16-pin Plastic DIP package. It operates from a single +5V supply (4.75V to 5.25V) and supports data rates up to 10Mbps. The device features ±15kV ESD protection via Human Body Model, ±15kV IEC Air-Gap Discharge, and ±8kV IEC Contact Discharge. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. Typical supply current is 3.5mA, with shutdown current below 10µA. Propagation delay ranges from 65ns to 98ns, with device-to-device matching within 16ns.

Feature Summary

• Provides robust electrostatic discharge protection for harsh environments
• Ensures precise timing through guaranteed propagation-delay matching
• Supports high bus density with quarter-unit-load input impedance
• Includes fail-safe feature guaranteeing logic-high output on open inputs

Applications

• Telecommunications equipment
• Rugged RS-422/RS-485/RS-423 bus receivers
• Receivers for ESD-sensitive applications
• Level translators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the exact package type and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the '+' suffix. Ensure the component source matches the authorized distributor list to avoid counterfeit parts. Cross-reference the full part number with the latest datasheet revision to validate all electrical parameters before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, rugged quad receiver is required for RS-422 or RS-485 networks. It serves as a direct pin-compatible upgrade to the industry-standard '26LS32. Choose the E-grade variant for industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C). Verify that the system power supply aligns with the +5V requirement of the MAX3095 series.

Part Context

The MAX3095 is part of a family of low-power, rugged quad receivers designed for harsh environments. It offers enhanced ESD protection compared to standard line receivers. The device is compatible with RS-422, RS-423, and RS-485 protocols. It allows up to 128 receivers on a single bus due to its high input impedance.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX3095 is a pin-compatible upgrade to the '26LS32. Direct replacements include other MAX3095 variants with different packages (e.g., MAX3095ESE+ for SOIC) or temperature grades (e.g., MAX3095CPE+ for commercial grade).
