When it comes to motion systems that need precise control over long distances, engineers often struggle with maintaining fast data rates and reliable communication over extended cables. Traditional low-speed devices are no longer sufficient for modern production environments where accurate and rapid data transmission is essential. This is where Maxim's latest RS-485/RS-422 transceivers come into play.

The MAX22500E/MAX22501E (half-duplex) and MAX22502E (full-duplex) transceivers offer high ESD protection and support data rates of up to 100 Mbps at 50 meters. These devices deliver the fastest data rate in the industry while ensuring reliable and precise communication over long cables. They are ideal for high-speed applications like motion control. Compared to other solutions, the adjustable pre-emphasis feature doubles the data rate, enhancing encoder resolution and reducing latency. It also extends the cable length by 50%, making them perfect for long-distance communication. With a receiver hysteresis of 250 mV, they provide excellent reliability against electrical fast transients (EFT). Additionally, improved signal integrity helps reduce the cost of expensive cabling, allowing system designers to achieve top performance without breaking the bank. The transceivers operate across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Main Advantages

• Reliable Communication: Supports 100 Mbps at 50m or 50 Mbps at 100m; adjustable pre-emphasis ensures data integrity at high speeds; 250 mV receiver hysteresis improves EFT robustness.
• High Performance: Up to 100 Mbps for higher resolution and more reliable communication; low voltage logic interface as low as 1.6 V for greater flexibility; improved signal integrity and lower cost for cabling.
• Compact Design: Available in small 8-, 10-, and 12-pin TDFN packages, offering reduced footprint for space-constrained designs.

Customer Feedback

Susie Inouye, Director of R&D at Databeans, said: “The new series of RS-485 transceivers once again highlights Maxim’s strong contributions to the industrial and motion control markets. They continue to push boundaries and meet the evolving challenges faced by their customers.”

Timothy Leung, Executive Business Manager at Maxim Integrated Industrial and Healthcare, added: “Our solution gives customers the flexibility and performance needed for system upgrades. For example, these ICs can be replaced without changing the existing architecture. Similarly, end users can adjust data rates and cable lengths based on their specific needs.”
