RS-485/422 link for industrial temperature zones
The MAX3071EASA+ is a full-duplex transceiver supporting both RS-422 and RS-485 protocols, with a single driver and single receiver on board (1/1 configuration). Data rate is capped at 250 kbps, which suits multi-drop sensor networks and PLC-to-field-device links where cable length exceeds a few hundred metres rather than high-speed backplanes.
Wide-temperature operation and package rework
Receiver hysteresis is 100 mV, which rejects noise on the differential bus without external filtering for most factory-floor runs.
