RS-485/RS-422 transceiver with 16 Mbps signaling
The MAX13088EASA+T is a half-duplex transceiver supporting both RS-485 and RS-422 protocols, with a single driver and single receiver on a 5 V supply rail. Rated for 16 Mbps data rate, this part handles fast industrial fieldbus links where the bus turnaround time must stay under 200 ns to avoid arbitration collisions on a multi-drop network.
Supply rail and receiver hysteresis
Receiver hysteresis of 100 mV provides noise immunity on long cable runs; the hysteresis band rejects reflections and ground-shift glitches that would otherwise toggle the output on a quiet bus.
The supplier device package is 8-SOIC, identical to the package / case; the same land pattern serves both the SOIC-8 and the narrow-body SOIC footprint common in industrial control modules.
