The MAX3097ECSE+ is a ±15kV ESD-protected triple high-speed RS-422/RS-485 Receiver with fault-detection circuitry and fault-status outputs. The receiver inputs have fault thresholds that detect when the part is not in a valid state. The MAX3097E indicate when a receiver input is in an open-circuit condition, short-circuit condition or outside the common-mode range. They also generate a fault indication when the differential input voltage goes below a preset threshold. The fault circuitry includes a capacitor-programmable delay to ensure that there are no erroneous fault conditions even at slow edge rates. Each receiver is capable of accepting data at rates up to 32Mbps.
Capacitor-programmable delay of fault indication allows error-free operation at slow data rates
