MAX3460CPD

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX3460CPD is a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and supports data rates up to 10Mbps. The device features a fail-safe receiver that ensures a high logic state when inputs are open. It is housed in an 8-DIP (0.300, 7.62mm) package and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrated fail-safe receiver mechanism for reliable operation during input disconnection
• Low-voltage power supply compatibility suitable for battery-operated systems
• Robust electrostatic discharge protection on all pins

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Industrial fieldbus networks requiring RS-485 communication
• Building automation control systems
• Low-power serial communication interfaces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPD' corresponds to the 8-pin DIP package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by manufacturer documentation. Ensure the operating voltage requirements align with the target system's 3.0V to 3.6V supply rails before procurement.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-voltage operation and standard DIP packaging. Compare against the MAX3460ESA if surface-mount technology is preferred. Verify that the 10Mbps data rate meets the network speed requirements. Consider thermal management capabilities within the specified industrial temperature range.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX346x family of RS-485/RS-422 transceivers designed for low-voltage applications. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX3460ESA but differs in package type. The family emphasizes robustness and low power consumption for industrial environments.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other MAX3460 variants such as MAX3460ESA for surface mount. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical specifications carefully. Ensure equivalent fail-safe features and voltage ranges are maintained.
