RS-485/422 full-duplex transceiver, 25 Mbps
The MAX14789EGSA+: It supports data rates up to 25 Mbps, making it suitable for high-speed industrial communication links such as fieldbus backplanes, motor drive interfaces, and PLC I/O networks. The wide supply range simplifies BOM consolidation when mixing supply voltages on the same bus.
Industrial temperature range and receiver noise margin
The full-duplex topology means the driver and receiver operate simultaneously over two twisted pairs, doubling throughput compared to half-duplex implementations that require direction toggling. This is a direct fit for point-to-point or multi-drop RS-422 links and for RS-485 networks where the master and slave each have dedicated transmit and receive paths.
Package, footprint, and compliance
Supplied in tube format, it is suited for prototype builds and low-to-medium volume production without reel fees. Analog Devices lists the MAX14789EGSA+ as ROHS3 compliant, meeting the latest EU restriction exemption levels.
