RS-422/RS-485 transceiver in SOT-23-8
The Maxim Integrated MAX3062EEKA+T is a half-duplex transceiver for RS-422 and RS-485 communication links, packing one driver and one receiver into an 8-pin SOT-23 package. It handles data rates up to 20 Mbps on a single 5V supply rail, with receiver hysteresis of 100 mV to reject line noise. The industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C suits it for factory-floor networks, outdoor telecom cabinets, and building-automation bus interfaces where the controller sits in a conditioned space but the cable runs through unconditioned areas.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX3062EEKA+T carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect, so it can be specified into new designs without near-term obsolescence risk.
