RS-485 transceiver for industrial and automotive buses
The Maxim Integrated MAX14776EASA+ is a half-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver in an 8-SOIC package, rated for 500 kbps data rate over a 3V to 5.5V supply range. It integrates one driver and one receiver, making it a drop-in for point-to-point or multi-drop differential buses in factory automation, motor drives, and under-hood automotive modules where the -40°C to 125°C operating range covers the full industrial and extended temperature envelope.
Supply flexibility and temperature range
The 3V to 5.5V supply span lets this part work on a 3.3V or 5V rail without a level translator — a practical fit when the bus side runs 5V and the UART side runs 3.3V. The -40°C to 125°C rating is the full automotive temperature grade, so it handles engine-bay heat and cold-crank equally.
Active production, no obsolescence risk
The MAX14776EASA+ carries an Active product status from Maxim, with ROHS3 compliance.
