16 Mbps full-duplex bus transceiver for RS-422/RS-485 networks
The MAX13086EASD+ is a single-channel full-duplex transceiver supporting both RS-422 and RS-485 protocols at data rates up to 16 Mbps. The 1/1 driver/receiver count means one differential driver and one differential receiver in the same package — the full-duplex topology lets you send and receive simultaneously on separate twisted pairs, unlike half-duplex parts that share a single bus. The 100 mV receiver hysteresis filters out noise picked up on long cable runs — on a 100-meter RS-485 trunk, that hysteresis is the difference between a clean byte and a corrupted frame from ground-loop transients. This part handles the thermal cycling of an outdoor telecom cabinet or the under-hood ambient of an engine-control module without derating the data rate.
Housed in a 14-SOIC package with a 3.90 mm body width — the standard SOIC-14 footprint that matches thousands of existing PCB layouts. Surface-mount assembly with a 1.27 mm pitch; the reflow profile follows the standard JEDEC MSL level for this package family.
Active lifecycle and compliance
ROHS3 compliant, meaning all six restricted substances plus the four phthalates are below the threshold; no exempted lead in the termination finish.
