250 kbps data rate — what it means for the bus
At 250 kbps, this transceiver is sized for reliable communication over longer cable runs. The slew-limited output reduces EMI and reflections.
Full-duplex with 100 mV hysteresis
Full-duplex operation requires two twisted pairs. The 100 mV receiver hysteresis prevents oscillation on a floating bus and adds noise immunity on long cables.
Supply and temperature range
The 3V to 3.6V supply range is narrow — this is a 3.3V-only part, not a 5V-tolerant transceiver. If your system runs a 5V bus, you need a level translator or a different part. The -40°C to 125°C operating range qualifies it for outdoor telecom cabinets, engine-bay electronics, and any environment where the ambient temperature swings wide. No AEC-Q100 grade is listed in the record, so if automotive qualification is required, verify that separately.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX3070EASD+T is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance.
