The MAX3082ESA+T is an IC (integrated circuit) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is designed specifically for use in industrial applications that require robust, high-speed, and low-power RS-485/RS-422 communication interfaces.
One of the key features of the MAX3082ESA+T is its 3.3V low-power operation, which makes it an ideal choice for battery-powered applications or systems where power consumption is a concern. The low quiescent current of 300µA (typical) further contributes to its energy efficiency.
This IC supports full-duplex data communication at data rates up to 250kbps, providing reliable and high-speed communication between devices in industrial networks. It also has ESD protection up to ±15kV on its bus pins, ensuring the system's resistance to electrostatic discharge and enhancing its robustness.
The MAX3082ESA+T features a slew-rate-limited driver that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces reflections from improperly terminated bus lines. This feature helps in achieving better signal quality and reliable data transmission over long distances.
Additionally, this IC has a low-voltage logic input threshold (0.8V) that is compatible with different voltage level signal requirements, allowing seamless integration with various industrial systems. The receiver inputs are equipped with a fail-safe feature, which ensures that the receiver's output is in a predefined state when the inputs are open, shorted, or idle
