When designing motion systems that require precise control over long distances, engineers often face the challenge of maintaining high-speed data transmission and reliability over extended cables. Traditional low-speed devices are no longer sufficient for modern industrial environments where fast and accurate data transfer is critical.

The MAX22500E/MAX22501E (half-duplex) and MAX22502E (full-duplex) RS-485/RS-422 transceivers from Maxim offer up to 100 Mbps communication at 50 meters, with enhanced ESD protection. These devices not only deliver the fastest data rate in the industry but also ensure reliable, high-precision communication over long cables, making them ideal for applications like motion control.

Compared to other solutions, the adjustable pre-emphasis feature in the MAX22500E and MAX22502E doubles the data rate, improving encoder resolution and reducing latency. This feature also extends cable length by 50%, enabling longer-distance communication. The larger receiver hysteresis of 250mV enhances EFT robustness, while improved signal integrity allows for cost-effective cabling solutions.

The transceivers operate within an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, ensuring performance in harsh industrial environments.

Main Advantages:

• Reliable Communication: 100 Mbps at 50m or 50 Mbps at 100m; adjustable pre-emphasis ensures data integrity at high speeds; 250mV receiver hysteresis improves EFT robustness.
• High Performance: Supports data rates up to 100 Mbps for higher resolution and more reliable communication; low voltage logic interface down to 1.6V for greater flexibility; improved signal integrity and reduced cost of expensive cables.
• Compact Design: Available in small 8-, 10-, and 12-pin TDFN packages, reducing overall board space requirements.

Evaluation Feedback:

· Susie Inouye, Director of R&D at Databeans, said: “The latest RS-485 transceiver series once again proves that Maxim continues to make significant contributions to the industrial and motion control markets. Their innovations keep pushing the boundaries and help customers overcome real-world challenges.”

· Timothy Leung, Executive Business Manager at Maxim Integrated Industrial and Healthcare, added: “Our solution gives customers the flexibility and performance they need for system upgrades. For instance, the IC can be replaced without changing the existing architecture, and end users can adjust the data rate and cable length as needed.”
