General Description
The MAX14852/MAX14854 isolated RS-485/RS-422
Benefits and Features
● High-Performance Transceiver Enables Flexible Designs
• Integrated LDO for Cable Side Power
• Compliant with RS-485 EIA/TIA-485 Standard
• 500kbps (MAX14852)/25Mbps (MAX14854) Maximum
Data Rate
transceivers provide 2750V (60s) of galvanic isola-
RMS
tion between the cable side (RS-485/RS-422 driver/
receiver side) and the UART side of the device. Isolation
improves communication by breaking ground loops and
reduces noise when there are large differences in ground
potential between ports. These devices allow for robust
communication up to 500kbps (MAX14852) or 25Mbps
(MAX14854).
• Allows Up to 128 Devices on the Bus
● Integrated Protection Ensures for Robust Communication
• ±35kV ESD (HBM) on Driver Outputs/Receiver Inputs
• 2.75kV
Withstand Isolation Voltage for 60
RMS
Seconds (V
)
The devices include one drive channel and one receive
channel. The receiver is 1/4-unit load, allowing up to 128
transceivers on a common bus.

Integrated true fail-safe circuitry ensures a logic-high on
the receiver output when inputs are shorted or open.
Undervoltage lockout disables the driver when cable side
or UART-side power supplies are below functional levels.

IOWM
• > 30 Years Lifetime at Rated Working Voltage
• Withstands ±10kV Surge per IEC 61000-4-5
• Thermal Shutdown
The driver outputs and receiver inputs are protected
from ±35kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) to GNDB on
the cable side, as specified by the Human Body Model
(HBM).
