Key Featrues

±15kV ESD Protection: The device offers robust ESD protection (±15kV Human Body Model, ±6kV IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±12kV Air-Gap Discharge), ensuring reliability in harsh environments and reducing the risk of damage from electrostatic discharge. This feature enhances durability and performance in industrial and automotive applications.
Guaranteed 52Mbps Data Rate: With a guaranteed data rate of 52Mbps, even at a 3V power supply, this receiver ensures high-speed communication, making it ideal for applications requiring fast data transmission, such as industrial control systems and telecom racks.
True Fail-Safe Receiver: The true fail-safe design ensures that the receiver output defaults to a high state when inputs are open, shorted, or terminated, preventing data errors and improving system reliability in critical applications like automotive and base stations.
Wide Common-Mode Range (-7V to +12V): The device supports a wide common-mode voltage range, allowing it to operate reliably in noisy environments with significant ground potential differences. This feature is particularly beneficial in industrial and automotive systems where noise immunity is crucial.
Tiny SOT23 Package: The compact SOT23 package enables space-efficient designs, making it suitable for applications with limited board space, such as portable devices, while maintaining high performance and functionality.

Applications

Automotive Communication Systems: The MAX3280E/MAX3281E/MAX3283E/MAX3284E are perfect for automotive communication systems, such as CAN bus networks, where reliable data transmission is critical. Their ±15kV ESD protection and true fail-safe receiver design ensure robust performance in harsh automotive environments, making them ideal for vehicle control modules and telematics systems.
Industrial Control Networks: These receivers are well-suited for industrial control networks, including PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and factory automation systems. With a guaranteed 52Mbps data rate and a wide common-mode range of -7V to +12V, they ensure reliable communication in noisy industrial environments, enabling precise control and monitoring of machinery.
Telecom Rack Signal Distribution: The MAX3280E series is ideal for clock and signal distribution in telecom racks, where low propagation delay (15ns max) and minimal package-to-package skew (8ns max) are essential. Their small SOT23 package and high-speed performance make them suitable for synchronizing data across multiple modules in telecom infrastructure.
Local Area Network (LAN) Extenders: These receivers are excellent for extending RS-485/RS-422 communication in LAN applications, such as building automation and security systems. Their true fail-safe receiver design ensures reliable data transmission over long distances, while the 3V to 5.5V power supply range allows flexibility in powering the system from various sources.
