The MAX14781E +5V, half-duplex ±25kV ESD-protected
RS-485 transceiver features integrated automatic polar-
ity correction to ensure that miswired A and B lines are
autonomously corrected, simplifying equipment and net-
work installation.
The MAX14781E includes slew-rate limited drivers that
minimize EMI, allowing for error-free data transmission
up to 370kbps.
This device includes fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a
logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are
shorted or open. Hot-swap functionality on the receiver
and driver enable inputs also eliminates false transitions
on the bus during power-up or live insertion.
The MAX14781E features a 1/8-unit load receiver input
impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. All
driver outputs are protected up to ±25kV ESD using the
Human Body Model. The MAX14781E is available in an
8-pin SO package and operates over the extended -40°C
to +85°C temperature range.

Note 2:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Spefications over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
All currents into the device are positive. All currents out of the device are negative. All voltages are referenced to ground,
unless otherwise noted.
Note 4:
ΔV
OD
and ΔV
OC
are the changes in V
OD
and V
OC
, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 5:
The short-circuit output current applies to the peak current just prior to foldback current limiting. The short-circuit foldback
output current applies during current limiting to allow recovery from a bus contention.
Note 6:
t
PM
is the interval, with no A/B switching activity, after which the internal logic circuitry records the polarity. t
PM
includes the
correction delay, after which the polarity is changed.
Note 7:
Not production tested. Guaranteed by design.
Note 8:
Capacitive loads include test probe and fixture capacitance.
Note 9:
This parameter refers to the driver/receiver enable delay when the device has exited the initial hot-swap state and is in nor-
mal operating mode.
Note 10:
Shutdown is enabled by driving
RE
high and DE low. The device is guaranteed to have entered shutdown after t
