Analog Devices Inc. MAX14783E 3.3V/5V ESD-Protected Transceivers are designed for half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 communication up to 42Mbps. The device is optimized for high speeds over extended cable runs while maximizing tolerance to noise. The MAX14783E integrated protection features include short-circuit protected outputs, hot-swap functionality, and a true fail-safe receiver. This guarantees a logic-high receiver output when inputs are shorted or open. Hot-swap capability eliminates undesired transitions on the bus during power-up or hot insertion. The transceiver draws 1.9mA (typical) supply current when unloaded or when fully loaded with the drivers disabled and draws less than 10µA (maximum) of supply current in low-power shutdown mode. Maxim MAX14783E is available in 8-pin µMAX, 8-pin SO, and small, 8-pin (3mm x 3mm) TDFN-EP packages.
