IO-Link physical-layer interface for 24V industrial sensor networks
The Maxim Integrated MAX14821ETG+ is a single-channel IO-Link transceiver designed for the physical layer of industrial sensor and actuator interfaces. It integrates one driver and one receiver in a 24-TQFN (4x4 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management. The part operates from a 9V to 36V supply rail, covering the standard 24V industrial bus with headroom for transients, and is rated over the -40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range.
Package and layout: 24-TQFN with exposed pad
The 4x4 mm exposed-pad package requires a thermal via array under the pad for heat sinking. The pad is electrically connected to ground on the die.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX14821ETG+ is listed as Active on Maxim's product status, with ROHS3 compliance.
