General Description
The MAX13442E/MAX13444E are fault-protected RS-485
and J1708 transceivers that feature ± 80V protection from
signal faults on communication bus lines. The
MAX13442E/MAX13444E feature a reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI and reflections, allowing error-free
transmission up to 250kbps. The MAX13443E driver can
transmit up to 10Mbps. The high-speed MAX13443E
RS-485 tranceiver features ±60V protection from signal
faults on communication bus lines. These transceivers feature foldback current limit. Each device contains one differential line driver with three-state output and one
differential line receiver with three-state input. The 1/4-unitload receiver input impedance allows up to 128 transceivers on a single bus. The devices operate from a 5V
supply. True fail-safe inputs guarantee a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted, or
connected to an idle data line.
Hot-swap circuitry eliminates false transitions on the
data bus during circuit initialization or connection to a
live backplane. Short-circuit current-limiting and thermal-shutdown circuitry protect the driver against excessive power dissipation, and on-chip ± 15kV ESD
protection eliminates costly external protection devices.
The MAX13442E/MAX13443E/MAX13444E are available in an 8-pin SO package and are specified over the
automotive temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: During normal operation, a termination resistor must be connected between A and B in order to guarantee overvoltage pro-
tection up to the absolute maximum rating of this device. When not in operation, these devices can withstand fault voltages
up to the maximum rating without a termination resistor and will not be damaged.
Note 2: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial
