MAX14841EASA Integrated Circuit Chip 40Mbps 3.3V Half Duplex RS485 Fail Safe Receiver, 8-Pin SO

The MAX14841EASA is a half duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver intended for industrial networks where the bus is exposed to cables, connectors and field wiring, and it protects the interface against the transients that come with that environment.

Data rate is up to 40Mbps, and the driver and receiver meet the RS-485 common mode range so nodes stay interoperable on long buses. ±35kV HBM ESD per JEDEC JS-001-2012 ±20kV air gap and ±12kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2

True fail-safe receiver keeps output high on short or open inputs Thermal shutdown at 160°C junction temperature 3.3V supply, 1.5mA typical, 10uA shutdown

The part is specified over -40°C to +125°C and is supplied in a 8-Pin SO package. Every order ships as new stock with full traceability, RoHS compliant and lead free, and samples plus volume pricing are available on request.

• Data rate up to 40Mbps
• Half Duplex configuration
• ±35kV HBM ESD per JEDEC JS-001-2012
• ±20kV air gap and ±12kV contact ESD per IEC 61000-4-2
• True fail-safe receiver keeps output high on short or open inputs
• Thermal shutdown at 160°C junction temperature
• 3.3V supply, 1.5mA typical, 10uA shutdown

• Industrial control networks
• Motor drives and motion control
• Building automation and HVAC
• Utility metering and smart grids
• Process instrumentation
• Security and access control systems

The true fail-safe receiver is the difference: with the bus shorted, open or idle the output stays at logic high, so a controller does not read a burst of false start bits at power-up.
