Active production — BOM-fit for RS485 bus monitoring
The MAX3095EEE+: This is a quad RS422/RS485 receiver — 0 drivers, 4 receivers — meaning it listens to a differential bus without transmitting, suited for multi-drop monitoring nodes where the bus master handles the drive side. Rated at 10 Mbps, the data rate covers most industrial fieldbus applications up to Profibus DP speeds, with the 45 mV hysteresis providing noise margin on long cable runs where common-mode shifts can otherwise cause bit errors.
Package and board-fit considerations
Available in both 16-SSOP (0.154" body width, 3.90 mm) and 16-QSOP packages — the QSOP variant is the supplier device package, with a narrower body width than standard SOIC, so the footprint must match the 0.025" lead pitch. Surface-mount assembly with tube packaging — the tube is the standard handling medium for low-to-medium volume pick-and-place; no tape-and-reel option is listed in the spec record.
ROHS3 compliant, so it ships without exemption declarations for EU and other regulated markets.
