±15kV ESD-Protected, ±60V Fault-Protected,
10Mbps, Fail-Safe RS-485/J1708 Transceivers
General Description
The MAX3440E–MAX3444E fault-protected RS-485 and
J1708 transceivers feature
±60V
protection from signal
faults on communication 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 trans-
ceivers on a single bus. The devices operate from a 5V
supply at data rates of 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 bus during circuit initialization or connection to a
live backplane. Short-circuit current-limiting and ther-
mal shutdown circuitry protect the driver against exces-
sive power dissipation, and on-chip
±15kV
ESD
protection eliminates costly external protection devices.
The MAX3440E–MAX3444E are available in 8-pin SO
and PDIP packages and are specified over 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.
