Active production — BOM-fit for RS-422/485 bus monitoring
The MAX3098EAESE+ is an active-production RS-422/RS-485 receiver from Analog Devices, configured as 0 drivers and 3 receivers. This receive-only topology suits multi-drop bus monitoring applications where the node listens but never drives the differential pair. Rated for 32 Mbps data rate, the device supports high-speed industrial backplanes and motion-control networks without bit-rate limiting. The 40 mV receiver hysteresis provides built-in noise rejection on long cable runs, reducing the need for external filtering components.
Supply voltage and temperature grade for industrial deployment
Housed in a 16-SOIC narrow-body package (0.154-inch width, 3.90 mm body), the footprint matches standard SOIC-16 land patterns used across industrial control boards. The tube packaging is suitable for hand-assembly or low-volume production runs.
Compliance and documentation for procurement review
Analog Devices lists the MAX3098EAESE+ as ROHS3 compliant, meeting the EU RoHS exemption-free standard.
