Applications
The MAX22028AWA+ is designed for isolated industrial communication systems where RS-485 or RS-422 networks must withstand high common-mode voltages, ESD events, and electromagnetic interference. It is commonly deployed in PLCs, motor drive control links, building automation networks, and smart energy meters where galvanic isolation protects sensitive microcontrollers from bus transients. Its AutoDirection feature simplifies firmware by eliminating manual direction-control GPIO toggling in half-duplex RS-485 bus designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AutoDirection Control feature of the MAX22028AWA+ simplify RS-485 network firmware?
AutoDirection Control automatically toggles the driver/receiver direction based on data flow, so firmware does not need to assert a separate DE/RE GPIO pin. This reduces latency to under 500 ns per transition and eliminates a common source of bus contention errors in half-duplex RS-485 networks running at up to 500 kbps.
What supply voltages does the MAX22028AWA+ require, and how much current does it draw?
The MAX22028AWA+ requires two supplies: VDDA from 3.0 V to 5.5 V for the logic side and VDDB from 4.75 V to 5.25 V for the bus side. Maximum combined supply current is 5.5 mA, making it suitable for low-power industrial nodes and bus-powered field devices.
In which industrial applications is the MAX22028AWA+ most effective as an isolated transceiver?
The MAX22028AWA+ excels in PLCs, motor drives, building automation systems, and smart meters that need ±15 kV ESD protection on RS-485 bus pins. Its 8-SOIC_W 300 mil package fits easily on a 2-layer board, and isolation ratings up to 2500 VRMS allow it to bridge 24 V fieldbus networks to 3.3 V microcontroller interfaces.
When should an engineer choose the MAX22028AWA+ over a non-isolated RS-485 transceiver such as the MAX3485?
Choose the MAX22028AWA+ when ground potential differences exceed ±12 V between nodes, or when bus cables run longer than 10 m in electrically noisy environments. Its integrated isolation removes the risk of latch-up and protects the host MCU, whereas non-isolated parts like the MAX3485 rely on board-level ground referencing and offer no common-mode protection beyond ±12 V.
