The integrated robust protection of the MAX13054A helps increase uptime of end equipment in harsh environments. Fault or overvoltage protection of up to ±65V and a wide common mode range of ±25V ensures that the MAX13054A can withstand wide voltage swings and ground differentials on factory floors. High ESD protection also guards against inadvertent strikes. The interface pin from 1.62V to 5.5V means that the IC can reliably support microcontrollers with 1.8V to 5V and interfaces that have up to a 10% variation on the supply voltage. Furthermore, there is also a handy standby pin with three modes that support a normal operating mode, up to 2 Mb/s, a standby mode to lower power consumption and a slow slew rate mode to minimize EMI and reflections on the line.
