MAX3295AUT+T

Product Overview

The MAX3295AUT+T from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a surface-mount interface driver in a SOT-23-6 package. It is a 1/0 driver for RS422 and RS485 protocols, with a 20 Mbps data rate and a 3.135 V to 3.465 V supply range. The device operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The driver-only configuration provides transmit-side interface functions for serial communication hardware.

Key Features

• Type: driver.
• Protocol: RS422, RS485.
• Number of drivers/receivers: 1/0.
• Data rate: 20 Mbps.
• Voltage supply: 3.135 V to 3.465 V.
• Operating temperature: -40°C to 125°C.
• Mounting type: surface mount.
• Package/case: SOT-23-6.

Applications

• RS422 transmit paths in serial links between boards, modules, or equipment.
• RS485 transmit paths in serial communication systems that use a driver channel.
• Driver channels in surface-mount control and measurement equipment.

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting the MAX3295AUT+T for a design, verify that the board supply remains within 3.135 V to 3.465 V under all operating conditions and that the PCB footprint matches the SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. The 1/0 driver configuration means receive functionality is not included, so a separate receiver path is required for links that need a receive channel. Consider the -40°C to 125°C operating range and the 20 Mbps data rate when evaluating timing, layout, and thermal requirements for RS422 or RS485 transmission. Confirm that the supply voltage range and temperature range match the board environment. The SOT-23-6 package and surface-mount mounting type should be reflected in the PCB layout and assembly documentation.
