Product details

The Maxim Integrated MAX3083CSD is an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver, a differential-line driver/receiver for serial links over twisted pair.

If your design is shipping into EU, California, or any jurisdiction that enforces RoHS, the MAX3083CSD won't pass incoming inspection. It belongs in legacy repair stock, military-contract spares that carry a RoHS exemption, or any aftermarket service where the original BOM specified lead-bearing solder. For new builds that need RoHS compliance, you'll want to look at the lead-free suffix variants in the same family — same function, different alloy.

That said, the RoHS non-compliance means mainstream distributors may not stock it in volume; availability tends to shift toward specialty and independent channels that serve the repair and defence aftermarket.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX3083CSD RoHS compliant?

No, the MAX3083CSD is RoHS non-compliant. It uses lead-bearing solder and is not suitable for new designs requiring RoHS compliance.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MAX3083CSD?

The MAX3083CSD is part of a family of RS-485 transceivers from Maxim. Pin-compatible alternatives exist within the same series that offer different data rates or slew-rate control, but the evidence does not list a specific equivalent order code. Check the family datasheet for suffix options that match your speed and compliance needs.
