MAX3040–MAX3045
±10kV ESD-Protected, Quad 5V RS-485/RS-422 Transmitters
General Description
The MAX3040–MAX3045 is a family of 5V quad RS485/RS-422 transmitters designed for digital data transmission over twisted-pair balanced lines. All transmitter outputs are protected to ±10kV using the Human Body Model. In addition the MAX3040–MAX3045 withstand ±4kV per IEC 1000-4-4 Electrical Fast Transient/Burst Stressing. The MAX3040/MAX3043 (250kbps) and the MAX3041/MAX3044 (2.5Mbps) are slew-rate limited transmitters that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free transmission.
The MAX3040–MAX3045 feature a hot-swap capability that eliminates false transitions on the data cable during power-up or hot insertion.
