MaxLinear MxL83433/MxL83434 Receivers

MaxLinear MxL83433/MxL83434 Receivers are quad RS‑485/RS‑422 receivers with up to 32Mbps, high IEC ESD/EFT protection, and low channel skew. These receivers offer global enable pins (MxL83433) and paired enable pins (MxL83434). The MxL83433/MxL83434 receivers offer low propagation delays and channel-to-channel and part-to-part propagation delay skews to ensure maximum system performance. These receivers feature robust system protection with ±12kV ESD contact (IEC 61000-4-2), ±4kV EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and ±15kV ESD human body model. The MxL83433/MxL83434 receivers meet or exceed the requirements of the TIA/EIA-485A and EIA/TIA-422B standards.

The MxL83433/MxL83434 receivers integrate four receiver channels into compact TSSOP or NSOIC packages, making these products well-suited for space-constrained enclosures. These receivers offer industry-standard footprint and pinout to ensure seamless compatibility for existing designs. Typical applications include industrial and process control equipment, level translators, telecommunication equipment, high-performance motor drives, smart grid, and industrial transport.
