ADIMAX14853GWE+
Overview
The MAX14853GWE+ is an isolated full-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver featuring integrated galvanic isolation to protect communication logic from high-voltage transients. It supports data rates up to 500kbps and operates across a 3V to 5.5V supply range, making it suitable for systems requiring robust signal integrity over long distances. The device combines a single driver and receiver in a 16-pin wide-body SOIC package for space-efficient isolated serial interfacing.
Why Choose This Part
This transceiver offers 2750Vrms of isolation and is rated for operation in harsh temperatures from -40C to 105C. The integrated isolation eliminates the need for bulky external optocouplers, reducing PCB footprint and simplifying BOM management. It also features a 20mV receiver hysteresis to improve noise immunity in differential signaling environments.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this part, designers can use the MAX14853EVKIT evaluation board to test isolation performance and signal integrity. Ensure that bypass capacitors are placed close to both the logic-side and isolated-side VDD pins. Proper PCB layout with clear creepage and clearance distances is essential to maintain the integrity of the galvanic isolation barrier.
