MAX14770E: +5V, fail-safe, PROFIBUS-DP/RS-485 transceiver for rugged industrial environments
Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX14770E PROFIBUS-DP/RS-485 transceiver. Maxim's next-generation BiCMOS process technology enables the device to achieve fast (20Mbps) data throughput while integrating robust (±35kV, HBM) ESD-protected structures in a small TQFN package. Additionally, the device is fully specified over the -40 degrees Celsius to +125 degrees Celsius automotive temperature range to ensure reliable operation in rugged environments. A pin-compatible upgrade for the MAX3469, the MAX14770E is ideal for industrial motor-control applications, PROFIBUS-DP/RS-485 networks, and fieldbuses.
The MAX14770E provides flexibility with the industry's widest supply range tolerance (+5V ±10%). It is available in a small (3mm x 3mm), automotive-grade, 8-pin TQFN package, as well as an industry-standard, 8-pin SO package that is specified over the -40 degrees Celsius to +85 degrees Celsius temperature range.
Features
- The MAX14770E is a half-duplex, differential bus transceiver for PROFIBUS-DP and RS-485 applications.
- Pin compatible with the MAX3469, the MAX14770E combines the industry's highest ESD protection (±35kV, HBM) with an automotive temperature range to withstand harsh operating environments.
- Maxim's next-generation BiCMOS process technology enables fast data throughput, as well as the integration of robust, ESD-protected structures in a small TQFN footprint.
- The MAX14770E is ideal for industrial PROFIBUS-DP/RS-485 networks, motor controllers, and industrial fieldbuses.
