MAX33076EASE+

Overview

The MAX33076EASE+ is a high-speed quad-channel RS-422/RS-485 receiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It operates within a +3.3V or +5.0V power supply range and supports data rates of up to 35Mbps. The device features a common-mode rejection (CMR) of ±25V and extended fault protection of ±65V, ensuring robust performance in electrically noisy environments. It includes true fail-safe circuitry that forces outputs high during open-circuit conditions. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated high common-mode rejection and extended fault protection for reliable signal integrity in harsh electrical environments
• True fail-safe design ensures output high state when receivers are disconnected or shorted
• Pin-compatible with industry-standard MAX3095-96 receivers for simplified system upgrades

Applications

• Motor controllers
• Telecommunications equipment
• CNC machine tools
• Laser modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EASE+' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact package type and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts designed for MAX3095-96 pinouts if used as a drop-in replacement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring high noise immunity and fast data transmission over RS-422/RS-485 networks. The quad-channel configuration reduces board space compared to single-channel alternatives. Consider the ±65V fault tolerance for applications involving long cable runs or potential wiring errors.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX33076 series of high-speed receivers from Analog Devices. It is functionally related to evaluation kits like the MAX3307XEEVKIT, which are used to test similar interface devices. The component serves as a critical interface element in industrial communication protocols requiring differential signaling.

Replacement Considerations

The MAX33076EASE+ is explicitly stated to be pin-compatible with the MAX3095-96 receiver series. Engineers can consider these parts for direct substitution without redesigning the PCB footprint, provided voltage and speed requirements align.
