Quad RS-485/422 receiver for 3.3V industrial buses
The MAX3094EEUE+T from Maxim Integrated is a quad RS-485/422 line receiver in a 16-TSSOP package. It handles differential signaling at 10 Mbps over twisted-pair cabling. The 45 mV of receiver hysteresis cleans up slow edges on long cable runs. Supply range of 3V to 3.6V means it runs directly off a 3.3V rail without an extra regulator.
Sourcing and lifecycle — active, no LTB watch
That means it can be designed into a production BOM today without planning for a last-time buy. The ROHS3 compliance covers EU regulatory requirements. For a BOM freeze, this is a stable line item — no phase-out risk in the near term.
16-TSSOP footprint and supply voltage
The 16-TSSOP package (4.40 mm body width) is a common industrial footprint. It is small enough for dense PCB layouts but still inspectable under a microscope. Surface-mount assembly is standard. The 3V to 3.6V supply range answers the most common question: yes, it runs on a 3.3V rail directly, no series regulator required.
