MAX13085EESA+T

Product Overview

The MAX13085EESA+T from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a surface-mount RS422 and RS485 transceiver in an 8-SOIC package. It has one driver and one receiver for differential serial communication links operating from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. The 3.90 mm wide 8-SOIC footprint supports surface-mount board assembly. This device is intended for board designs that require an RS422 or RS485 interface component, with the package and supply range defining the primary electrical and mechanical integration requirements.

Key Features

• RS422 and RS485 protocol support for differential serial communication links.
• 1/1 driver and receiver configuration.
• Operating supply range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V.
• Surface-mount 8-SOIC package with 0.154 in, 3.90 mm width.

Applications

• Differential serial communication links in industrial control equipment.
• Instrumentation systems using RS422 or RS485 interface signaling.
• Embedded systems requiring an RS422 or RS485 serial interface.
• Data acquisition modules using differential serial links.

Design & Procurement Notes

Design considerations should begin by confirming that the board supply rail remains within 4.5 V to 5.5 V, because the transceiver is specified for that operating range. The 8-SOIC, 3.90 mm wide surface-mount package should be checked against available board area and assembly requirements. For RS422 and RS485 links, differential signal routing and connector pinout should be reviewed according to the system's interface requirements. Since the device has a 1/1 driver and receiver configuration, the serial topology and channel count should match the intended link architecture. For initial selection, rely on the package, protocol, supply, and driver/receiver characteristics rather than assumptions about additional performance.
