The MAX3490EESA is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed for high-speed data transmission and reception in various communication and industrial applications. It is a low-voltage, quad, differential line receiver, which operates at a supply voltage as low as 1.65V.
One of the key features of the MAX3490EESA is its wide input common-mode voltage range, which extends from -7V to +12V. This ensures compatibility with various signaling standards and allows for robust operation in noisy environments. The device has a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of typically 67dB for differential signals.
The IC also incorporates a fail-safe feature, which guarantees a valid output logic level in the absence of a differential input signal. The fail-safe function keeps the outputs in a high state when the inputs are undriven and floating in an unknown state.
Another noteworthy feature is the MAX3490EESA's high-speed performance, supporting data rates of up to 16Mbps. The device delivers fast switching times of typically 12ns, making it suitable for applications involving high-speed data transmission over long distances.
Furthermore, the IC component offers ESD protection, up to ±15kV human body model (HBM) and ±8kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge, ensuring robustness against electrostatic discharges
