MaxLinear, Inc. Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers XR3088XID-F

The XR3088XID-F is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed for reliable communication in industrial environments. It operates at a data rate of up to 20 Mbps and is housed in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package. The device features a robust fault tolerance with analog bus pins capable of withstanding direct shorts up to ±18V and offers enhanced ESD protection rated at ±15kV for air gap discharge. This transceiver includes fail-safe circuitry that guarantees a logic-high output under conditions such as open or shorted inputs. The receiver input impedance is a minimum of 96kΩ, allowing for up to 256 devices on the bus while maintaining signal integrity. The XR3088XID-F also incorporates thermal shutdown and short circuit detection for driver protection, and it can enter a low current shutdown mode, drawing only 1nA, which is beneficial for power-sensitive applications. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, this device is suitable for various applications including motor control, security systems, and building automation. Its specifications make it a strong candidate for projects requiring reliable communication over long distances or in noisy environments.
