Key Features
- 2500 Vrms galvanic isolation with ±15 kV ESD protection for robust RS-485/RS-422 communication in electrically noisy industrial environments
- Supports EIA-485 and EIA-422 differential interface standards at data rates up to 1 Mbps with Schmitt trigger inputs for noise immunity
- 16-pin wide SOIC-300 package integrates isolated RS-485 transceiver eliminating separate isolator + transceiver components for BOM simplification
Applications
The MAX14945EWE+ is used in industrial automation, process control, and building management systems requiring isolated RS-485 or RS-422 serial communication over long cable runs up to 1200 meters. Its 2500 Vrms isolation protects host microcontrollers from ground faults and high-voltage transients common in factory floor environments. The integrated isolation and transceiver reduce PCB area and simplify compliance with IEC 61000 EMC requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What isolation voltage and ESD protection does the MAX14945EWE+ provide for industrial RS-485 networks?
The MAX14945EWE+ provides 2500 Vrms galvanic isolation between the logic-side and bus-side, protecting host microcontrollers from voltage differentials of up to 2500 Vrms. It also integrates ±15 kV ESD protection on RS-485 bus pins, guarding against electrostatic discharge events in harsh industrial wiring environments with differential data rates up to 1 Mbps.
Which communication standards does the MAX14945EWE+ support and at what maximum data rate?
The MAX14945EWE+ complies with EIA-485, TIA-485, and EIA-422 differential interface standards, supporting half-duplex and full-duplex RS-485 bus configurations. It operates at data rates up to 1 Mbps over twisted-pair cable, with Schmitt trigger inputs providing a switching threshold hysteresis of 0.2 V minimum to reject noise on industrial bus lines.
How does integrating the MAX14945EWE+ reduce BOM complexity compared to discrete isolator and RS-485 transceiver solutions?
A discrete isolated RS-485 design typically requires a digital isolator (e.g., Si8421) plus a separate RS-485 transceiver chip, consuming 2 ICs and multiple decoupling capacitors. The MAX14945EWE+ integrates both functions in a single 16-pin SOIC-300 package, reducing the component count by at least 1 IC and shrinking PCB footprint while meeting the same 2500 Vrms isolation requirement.
