ESD-protected USB transceiver for robust data links
The MAX3454EETE is an ESD protected USB transceiver from Analog Devices, designed to safeguard the USB interface against electrostatic discharge events that would otherwise damage the host controller or peripheral PHY. It sits in the Sensors & Transducers category, but its function is purely a USB physical-layer transceiver — the ESD protection is the differentiator here, not a sensor front-end.
Active production — plan for RoHS exemption
Note the RoHS non-compliant marking — this part uses lead-bearing solder or material that exempts it from the RoHS directive. If your BOM requires full RoHS compliance, factor in a waiver or look for a lead-free variant.
Bulk package — what it means for kitting
For automated pick-and-place, confirm the handling method with your distributor; Bulk may require manual loading into feeders.
