Description
The MAX13442E/MAX13444E are fault-protected RS-485 and J1708 transceivers that feature ±80V protection from signal faults on communication bus lines.
The MAX13442E/MAX13444E feature a reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI and reflections, allowing error-free transmission up to 250kbps.
Features
- ±60V protection from signal faults on communication bus lines. These transceivers feature foldback current limit. Each device contains one differential line driver with three-state output and one differential line receiver with three-state input. The 1/4-unitload receiver input impedance allows up to 128 transceivers on a single bus. The devices operate from a 5V supply. True fail-safe inputs guarantee a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted, or connected to an id.
