±80V Fault-Protected, Fail-Safe,
1/4-Unit Load, +3.3V RS-485 Transceiver
General Description
The MAX3430 fault-protected RS-485 transceiver features
±80V
protection from overvoltage signal faults on commu-
nication bus lines. Each device contains one driver and
one receiver, and the output pins can withstand faults,
with respect to ground, of up to ±80V. Even if the faults
occur when the transceiver is active, shut down, or pow-
ered off, the device will not be damaged. The MAX3430
operates from a 3.3V supply and features a slew-rate-lim-
ited driver that minimizes EMI and reduces reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-
free data transmission at data rates up to 250kbps. The
MAX3430 has a 1/4-unit-load receiver input impedance
allowing up to 128 transceivers on a single bus and fea-
tures fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high
receiver output when the receiver inputs are open.
Hot-swap circuitry eliminates false transitions on the
data cable 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.
The MAX3430 is available in 8-pin SO and 8-pin PDIP
packages, and is specified over commercial and indus-
trial 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.
