MaxLinear, Inc. Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers XR3076XEDTR-F

The XR3076XEDTR-F is a low power, 3.3V RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed for robust performance in industrial environments. It features ¬±18V fault tolerance on analog bus pins and offers enhanced ESD protection, with ratings of ¬±15kV for air gap discharge and ¬±8kV for contact discharge. The device operates within a voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V and consumes 300¬µA in idle mode, with a shutdown current of only 1nA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications. This transceiver supports a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 1.65V, which is 10% higher than standard RS-485 devices, allowing for improved communication over longer distances or in noisy environments. It includes fail-safe circuitry to ensure a logic-high output under open, shorted, or undriven conditions, and can accommodate up to 256 devices on the bus due to its 1/8 unit load capability. The device is housed in an industry-standard 8-pin NSOIC package and operates over an industrial temperature range of -40¬8C to 85¬8C, making it versatile for various applications such as motor control, security systems, and building automation.
