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.
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.
The suffix difference is packaging: the + indicates tube packaging, while +T indicates tape-and-reel. The silicon and electrical specs are identical.
The MAX3079EESD+ is a full-duplex part, while the MAX3485 is half-duplex. They are not pin-compatible — the MAX3079 uses a different pinout for the extra driver/receiver pair. Replacing a MAX3485 with this part requires a board redesign.
It is a Transceiver with Full Duplex operation, supporting one driver and one receiver.
