Product details

What this transceiver is and where it fits

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

RoHS non-compliance — what it means for the BOM

This part is marked RoHS non-compliant. 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.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

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.
