MAX3088CSA+T

Product Overview

The MAX3088CSA+T from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a surface-mount transceiver for RS422 and RS485 communication links. It provides one driver and one receiver in a half-duplex architecture, with a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and a data rate of 10Mbps. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC package with 0.154 inch, 3.90mm width, and a receiver hysteresis of 100 mV. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, supporting board-level integration in environments within that range.

Key Features

• RS422 and RS485 protocol support
• 1/1 driver/receiver configuration
• Half-duplex transceiver operation
• 10Mbps data rate
• 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range
• 100 mV receiver hysteresis
• 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range
• Surface-mount 8-SOIC package with 0.154 inch, 3.90mm width

Applications

• Half-duplex serial data exchange between controllers and peripheral modules
• Point-to-point or multidrop communication links using RS422 or RS485
• Embedded equipment interconnects where a single driver/receiver pair is sufficient
• Control and instrumentation data buses operating within the 0°C to 70°C temperature range

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting the MAX3088CSA+T, verify that the system supply is regulated within 4.75V to 5.25V and that the PCB layout supports the surface-mount 8-SOIC package with 0.154 inch, 3.90mm width. The 1/1 driver/receiver configuration and half-duplex architecture suit links that share transmit and receive directions rather than simultaneous bidirectional channels. The 10Mbps data rate and 100 mV receiver hysteresis describe electrical timing and receiver input behavior for an RS422 or RS485 network. Check that the ambient operating temperature remains between 0°C and 70°C, and confirm the protocol and duplex requirements of the host controller before finalizing the interface design.
