Product details

10 Mbps and 500 mV hysteresis — what they mean on the wire

The 10 Mbps data rate and 500 mV receiver hysteresis keep the link clean on long cable runs. For RS422 point-to-point at 10 Mbps, the hysteresis provides margin against ground-shift between equipment racks.

Package and footprint — 24-SSOP

The 24-SSOP package (0.209-inch body width, 5.30 mm) is a standard footprint. The tube shipping medium means the part arrives in anti-static tubes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the data rate and supply voltage range of MAX3161ECAG+?

The MAX3161ECAG+ supports a data rate of 10 Mbps and operates from a 3V to 5.5V supply range.

Can MAX3161ECAG+ be used for full-duplex RS422 communication?

Yes, the MAX3161ECAG+ is a full-duplex transceiver with two drivers and two receivers, which is exactly the configuration needed for a full-duplex RS422 point-to-point link.
