MAX3157EAI

General Description

The MAX3157EAI is a high CMRR RS-485/RS-422 data-communications interface providing ±50V isolation in a hybrid microcircuit.A single +5V supply on the logic side powers both sides of the interface, with external ±50V capacitors transterring power from the logic side to the isolated side. Each MAX3157EAI contains one transmitter and one receiver and is quaranteed to operate at data rates up to 250kbps. Drivers are short-circuit current limited and protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic high receiver output if the inputs are open, shorted, or connected to aterminated transmission line with all drivers disabled.
The MAX3157EAI typically draws 25mA of supply current when unloaded or when fully loaded with the driver disabled. Supply current drops to 25uA when the device is placed in shutdown mode. The device is pin selectable between half-and full-duplex mode and also featuresindependently programmable receiver and transmitteroutput phase through separate pins. The MAX3157EAI is a low-cost replacement for opto-isolated transceivers. For fully isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, refer to the MAX1480family data sheet.
