MAX14775E/MAX14776E
±65V Fault Protected 500kpbs/20Mbps
Half-Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Integrated Protection Ensures for Robust
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E fault-protected RS-485/
RS-422 transceivers feature ±65V protection for overvoltage
signal faults on communication bus lines, ensuring
communication in harsh industrial environments.
Each device contains one driver and one receiver and
operates over the 3V to 5.5V supply range. The
MAX14775E is optimized for high-speed data rates up
to 20Mbps. The MAX14776E features slew-rate limited
outputs for data rates up to 500kbps.
Communication
•ꢀ ±65V Fault Protection Range on Driver Outputs/
Receiver Inputs
•ꢀ ±25V Common Mode Range on the Receiver Inputs
•ꢀ Large Receiver Hysteresis Increases Noise Tolerance
•ꢀ Hot-Swap Protection
•ꢀ Thermal Shutdown
● High-Performance Transceiver Enables Flexible
Designs
These transceivers are optimized for robust communication
in noisy environments. A large 200mV (typ) hysteresis on
receiver inputs ensure for high noise rejection and a fail-
safe feature guarantees a logic-high on the receiver output
when the inputs are open or shorted. Driver outputs are
protected against short-circuit conditions.
•ꢀ Compliant with RS-485 EIA/TIA-485 Standard
•ꢀ 20Mbps (MAX14775E)/500kbps (MAX14776E)
Maximum Data Rate
•ꢀ 3V to 5.5V Supply Range
•ꢀ Up to 100 Devices on the Bus
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E receivers feature a 1/3-
unit load input impedance, allowing up to 100 transceivers
on a bus.
Applications
● Industrial Field Bus Networks
● Motion Controllers
● HVAC
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E are available in 8-pin
SOIC and 8-pin TDFN-EP packages and operate over the
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.
