MAX14883EASA+T

The MAX14883EASA+T is Maxim Integrated’s galvanically isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver family. It provides differential bus communication (RS-485/RS-422) with isolation between the local logic side and the remote bus to protect equipment from large common‑mode voltages and transients. Key features typically include a driver and receiver with enable controls, fail‑safe receiver outputs (known level when inputs are open or shorted), and rugged protections (ESD, short‑circuit/overcurrent protection). The device is designed for multi‑node, long‑distance industrial networks and noisy environments, offering reliable data transmission at industrial speeds with low power.
The suffix “EASA+T” denotes specific options for this variant, usually relating to environmental/temperature rating and packaging/ordering details (e.g., industrial temperature grade and tape-and-reel packaging). If you need exact electrical specs (data rate, isolation voltage, supply rails, temperature range, pinout), please specify the exact datasheet revision or provide the package/temperature option you’re using.

Here are the typical features of the MAX14883EASA+T (4-channel isolated gate-driver):
- Four isolated output channels for IGBTs/MOSFETs (two driver pairs)
- Galvanic isolation between logic-side and power-side up to 2.5 kV RMS
- Separate isolated supply rails (VDD1/VDD2) for each side
- Logic inputs compatible with 3.3V and/or 5V logic
- UVLO on both sides to prevent misdrive
- Shoot-through protection with deadtime control to prevent cross-conduction
- Fault/status reporting via FAULT/STATUS pins (latched fault indication)
- Output protection: current limit/short-circuit protection on each channel
- Fast, predictable propagation delays with controlled rise/fall times
- Enable/disable control and safe-state behavior
- Temperature range typically around -40°C to +125°C (industrial)
- RoHS-compliant, EASA+T lead-free packaged (tape-and-reel)
Note: for exact voltage ranges, timing specs, and features (e.g., programmable deadtime, jitter, fan-out), consult the latest MAX14883E datasheet.

It comes in a 28-pin SSOP (SO-28) package, Tape‑and‑Reel (the +T indicates Tape & Reel).

- Pin count: 8 pins (EASA package)
- Function: Single-channel, half‑duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. Provides DI (data input), RO (data output), DE (driver enable), RE (receiver enable), A and B bus pins, plus Vcc and GND.
