MAX14840E/MAX14841E are +3.3V ESD-protected transceivers intended for half-duplex RS-485 communi- cation up to 40Mbps.
The MAX14840E and MAX14841E are +3.3 V ESD‑protected RS‑485 transceivers designed for high‑speed half‑duplex communication up to 40 Mbps. They offer hot‑swap capability, fail‑safe receiver inputs, and robust ESD protection for reliable operation in automotive and industrial environments.
Both devices are offered in 8‑pin SO and 8‑pin TDFN‑EP (3 mm × 3 mm) packages and operate over a –40 °C to +125 °C temperature range. Detailed electrical characteristics, switching parameters, and timing diagrams are provided for designers.
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.0 V – 3.6 V |
|---|---|
| Maximum Data Rate | 40 Mbps |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +125 °C |
| Typical Supply Current (unloaded) | 1.5 mA |
| ESD Protection (HBM) | 35 kV |
Both devices have hot‑swap inputs that prevent undesired bus transitions during power‑up or hot insertion.
The transceiver draws about 1.5 mA typical supply current when unloaded.
Both parts are offered in 8‑pin SO and a space‑saving 8‑pin TDFN‑EP (3 mm × 3 mm) package.
