Rated for 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range, this transceiver is intended for indoor equipment.
The ROHS3 status covers the current EU exemption regime, so no separate exemption certificate is needed for standard commercial shipments.
The primary difference is the temperature grade: MAX3463CSA+ is rated for 0°C to 70°C (commercial), while MAX3463ESA is rated for -40°C to +85°C (industrial). Both share the same 5V supply, 20 Mbps data rate, half-duplex RS-485/422 protocol, and 8-SOIC footprint. Choose the ESA variant if your application sees extended temperature ranges.
No. The supply voltage range is 4.75V to 5.25V — a 5V nominal rail. It is not specified for 3.3V operation. For 3.3V RS-485 transceivers, look at parts like the MAX3483 family.
Yes, the MAX3463CSA+ is ROHS3 compliant, meeting the latest EU RoHS directive requirements.
The data rate is 20 Mbps, suitable for high-speed RS-485/RS-422 links over shorter cable runs.
