Overview

  • High ESD Protection Provides Increases Equipment Uptime
    • ±35kV Human Body Model (HBM) per JEDEC JS-001-2012
    • ±20kV Air Gap Discharge per IEC 61000-4-2
    • ±12kV Contact Discharge per IEC 61000-4-2
  • Integrated Features Increases Robustness
    • Large 170mV Receiver Hysteresis (MAX14840) for High Receiver Noise Tolerance
    • True Fail Safe Receiver Input (MAX14841E) Keeps Receiver Output Logic-High Upon Shorts and Open On Receiver Input
    • Thermal Self-Protection Shutdown at 160°C Junction Temperature
    • High Industrial -40°C to +125°C Ambient Operating Temperature Range/-40°C to +150°C Junction Temperature Range
    • Hot Swap Capability Eliminates False Transition During Power-Up or Hot Insertion
  • Low Current Reduces Power Requirements
    • 10µA (max) Shutdown Current
    • 1.5mA (typ) Supply Current
    • 3.3V Supply Voltage
  • Available in Industry Standard 8-Pin SO or Space-Saving 8-Pin TDFN-EP (3mm x 3mm) Packages

The MAX14840E/MAX14841E are +3.3V ESD-protected transceivers intended for half-duplex RS-485 communication up to 40Mbps. These transceivers are optimized for high speeds over extended cable runs while maximizing tolerance to noise.

The MAX14840E features symmetrical fail-safe and larger receiver hysteresis, providing improved noise rejection and improved recovered signals in high-speed and long cable applications. The MAX14841E has true fail-safe receiver inputs guaranteeing a logic-high receiver output when inputs are shorted or open.

The MAX14840E/MAX14841E are available in 8-pin SO and small, 8-pin (3mm x 3mm) TDFN-EP packages. Both devices operate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Features and Benefits

  • Data Converter, Interface, Clock, Sensor, and Other Modules Included to Address Many Design Needs
  • Plug in Modules Enable Rapid Hardware Prototyping
  • Proven Software Drivers Reduce Development Time
  • FPGA Configuration Files Included to Simplify Design Effort

Product Details

Maxim Analog Essentials is a collection of peripheral modules which can plug directly into any FPGA/CPU expansion port which follows the Pmod™ standard established by Digilent, Inc. The collection includes modules containing a wide variety of commonly used analog and mixed signal functions. The modules are supported by software which includes FPGA configuration files for three popular FPGA platforms: Avnet LX-9, Digilent Nexys 3 and Avnet ZEDBoard, as well as example programs to exercise and demonstrate each module. While the example programs demonstrate the module’s functionality, they are well partitioned and documented allowing the core routines to be easily cut and pasted into your own programs. The combination of plug-in simplicity and easy software integration allows for quick migration from idea to working prototype.
