The MAX3080ECSD is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX3080 family of RS-485/RS-422 transceivers manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is designed to provide a robust and reliable interface for long-range communication in industrial applications.
This IC operates with a wide supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V. It is capable of transmitting and receiving reliable data signals over long cables or in electrically noisy environments. The MAX3080ECSD features a 1/4 unit load on the RS-485 bus, allowing up to 128 devices to be connected in multi-point applications.
One of the key features of the MAX3080ECSD is its enhanced ESD protection, offering ±15kV human body model (HBM) and ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 air-gap discharge voltage level. This ensures greater immunity against electrostatic discharge, adding reliability and longevity to the system.
The IC supports half-duplex communication mode, making it suitable for applications that require bidirectional data transmission. Additionally, the MAX3080ECSD offers a high data rate of up to 250kbps, allowing for efficient data transfer.
Another important feature of this IC is its low quiescent current consumption, typically around 300µA. This makes it highly power-efficient, enabling battery-powered applications to have extended operation times
