The MAX3040-MAX3045 is a family of 5V quad RS-485/RS-422 transmitters designed for digital data transmission over twisted-pair balanced lines. All transmitter outputs are protected to ±10kV using the Human Body Model. The MAX3040/MAX3043 (250kbps) and the MAX3041/MAX3044 (2.5Mbps) are slew-rate limited transmitters that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free transmission.
The MAX3040-MAX3045 feature a hot-swap capability* that eliminates false transitions on the data cable during power-up or hot insertion. The MAX3042B/MAX3045B are optimized for data transfer rates up to 20Mbps, the MAX3041/MAX3044 for data rates up to 2.5Mbps, and the MAX3040/MAX3043 for data rates up to 250kbps. The MAX3040-MAX3045 offer optimum performance when used with the MAX3093E or MAX3095 5V quad differential line receivers or MAX3094E/MAX3096 3V quad differential line receivers.
The MAX3040-MAX3045 are ESD-protected pin-compatible, low-power upgrades to the industry-standard 'SN75174 and 'DS26LS31C. They are available in space-saving TSSOP, narrow SO, and wide SO packages.
