Product details

Supply voltage and 5V logic compatibility

Rated supply is 3V to 3.6V, so this part lives on a 3.3V rail. If your controller or UART runs at 5V logic levels, the MAX3486ECSA+ inputs are not 5V-tolerant — the datasheet specifies 3.6V absolute maximum on the logic pins. A level translator or resistive divider is needed between a 5V host and this transceiver.

Temperature grade limits deployment

Rated for 0°C to 70°C (commercial temperature range). This part is suited for indoor equipment, office automation, or controlled-environment industrial panels. It is not rated for outdoor telecom cabinets, engine bays, or freezer-floor applications — those call for the industrial-temperature variant of this family.

Lifecycle and sourcing posture

The MAX3486ECSA+ carries an Active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX3486ECSA+ compatible with 5V logic inputs?

No, the logic inputs are not 5V-tolerant. The supply is 3V to 3.6V, and absolute maximum on logic pins is 3.6V. A level translator is required when interfacing with 5V logic.

What is a direct replacement for MAX3486ECSA+?

Within the same family, the MAX3486EESA+ is an industrial-temperature (-40°C to +85°C) variant in the same 8-SOIC footprint, pin-compatible for extended-range applications.
