MAX3096ESE+

Overview

The MAX3096ESE+ is a quad RS-422/RS-485 receiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates from a single +3.3V supply and supports data rates up to 10Mbps. The device features ±15kV ESD protection via the Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 standards. It includes complementary enable inputs for a 1nA low-power shutdown mode and guarantees propagation-delay tolerance within ±10ns between devices. The unit utilizes a 16-pin Narrow SO package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated ±15kV electrostatic discharge protection on all receiver inputs
• Guaranteed propagation-delay matching across production lots
• Quarter-unit-load input impedance supporting up to 128 receivers per bus
• Fail-safe feature ensuring logic-high output during open-circuit conditions

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Confirm that the narrow SO package variant aligns with PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target system's 3.3V power rail before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.3V supply voltage is required instead of the 5V variant. Verify that the ±10ns propagation delay tolerance meets system synchronization needs. Ensure the design accommodates the 16-pin narrow SOIC footprint dimensions and thermal dissipation characteristics for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

The MAX3096 serves as the 3.3V counterpart to the MAX3095, which operates at 5V. Both are pin-compatible, low-power upgrades to the industry-standard '26LS32. They share identical functional architectures but differ in supply voltage requirements and specific propagation delay tolerances.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX3095 is a direct pin-compatible alternative requiring a 5V supply. Other members of the MAX309x family offer different package options such as PDIP or QSOP.
