MAX3088ECSA+T

Product Overview

The MAX3088ECSA+T from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a half-duplex serial transceiver for RS422 and RS485 communication links. The device provides one driver and one receiver in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. It operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and supports a 10 Mbps data rate. A 100 mV receiver hysteresis is specified, and the part is rated for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The half-duplex configuration supports systems that alternate transmit and receive directions on a serial interface.

Key Features

• RS422 and RS485 protocol support
• Half-duplex 1/1 transceiver configuration
• 10 Mbps data rate
• 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply voltage range
• 100 mV receiver hysteresis
• 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range
• 8-SOIC surface-mount package

Applications

• Half-duplex serial communication links using RS422 or RS485
• Embedded controller interfaces requiring a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and 10 Mbps transceiver operation
• Equipment designs using 8-SOIC transceivers for serial data paths

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers should verify that the system supply remains within 4.75 V to 5.25 V and that the selected serial topology is compatible with half-duplex RS422 or RS485 operation. The 10 Mbps data rate and 100 mV receiver hysteresis should be considered when evaluating signal quality and noise margin. The 8-SOIC surface-mount package and 0°C to 70°C operating range affect PCB layout, thermal management, and environmental suitability. Because the device provides one driver and one receiver, the system architecture must coordinate transmit and receive use according to the half-duplex mode.
