RS-422/RS-485 transceiver at 16 Mbps — fit for the differential bus
The MAX3079EESD+ is a full-duplex transceiver for RS-422 and RS-485 networks, with one driver and one receiver in a 14-SOIC package.
What the ratings mean for the BOM
Full-duplex operation allows simultaneous transmit and receive over a four-wire bus. The 16 Mbps data rate supports cable runs up to several hundred feet at lower speeds.
Package and mounting
Surface-mount in a 14-SOIC (3.90 mm body width). Standard footprint, compatible with most pick-and-place lines. No special thermal pad or exposed die — just a straightforward SOIC reflow profile.
