RS-485/RS-422 full-duplex transceiver, 16 Mbps
The MAX3077EESA+: It handles data rates up to 16 Mbps, which means it can clock a high-speed fieldbus link or a point-to-point serial line without bit-rate bottlenecks — the 100 mV receiver hysteresis cleans up noise on long cable runs so the downstream UART sees clean edges.
Tube delivery means the parts arrive in anti-static tubes, not tape-and-reel; for pick-and-place assembly, a tube-to-tape conversion is needed unless the line has a tube feeder.
