Maxim Integrated MAX14942GWE+ Line Transceiver, 16-Pin SOIC

The MAX14941/MAX14942 isolated RS-485/PROFIBUS-DP transceivers provide 5000VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation between the cable-side (RS-485 driver/receiver-side) and the UART-side of the device. Isolation improves communication by breaking ground loops and reduces noise when there are large differences in ground potential between ports. These devices allow for robust communication up to 20Mbps. Each device includes one half-duplex driver/receiver channel. The receiver is 1/4-unit load, allowing up to 128 transceivers on a common bus. Integrated true fail-safe circuitry ensures a logic-high on the receiver output when inputs are shorted or open.
