±60V Fault-Protected, 10Mbps, Fail-Safe
RS-485 Transceiver with ±15kV ESD Protection
General Description
The MAX3443E fault-protected RS-485/RS-422 transceiv-
er features ±60V protection from signal faults on commu-
nication bus lines. Each device contains one differential
line driver with three-state output, and one differential line
receiver with three-state input. The 1/4-unit-load receiver
input impedance allows up to 128 transceivers on a sin-
gle bus. The device operates from a 5V supply at data
rates up to 10Mbps. True fail-safe inputs guarantee a
logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are
open, shorted, or connected to an idle data line.
Hot-swap circuitry eliminates false transitions on the
data cable during circuit initialization or connection to a
live backplane. Short-circuit current limiting and thermal
shutdown circuitry protect the driver against excessive
power dissipation, and integrated ±15kV ESD protec-
tion eliminates costly external protection devices.
The MAX3443E is available in 8-pin SO and PDIP pack-
ages, and is specified over commercial, industrial, and
automotive temperature ranges.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

∆V
OD
and
∆V
OC
are the changes in V
OD
and V

, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 3:
The short-circuit output current applies to peak current just prior to foldback current limiting; the short-circuit foldback out-
put current applies during current limiting to allow a recovery from bus contention.
