MAX3096ESE

MAX3096ESE is a Maxim Integrated serial transceiver. It’s used to interface a microcontroller’s TTL/CMOS logic to a differential bus such as RS-485 or RS-422. Typical features (depending on the exact variant) include separate driver and receiver enables with tri‑state outputs, fail‑safe/idle-recovery behavior for the receiver, ESD protection, and low power operation. The “ESE” suffix usually designates a specific temperature and packaging variant (lead-free/extended-temp options).
Common applications are industrial networks, data communications, and long‑line multi‑drop systems. For exact electrical specs—supply voltage, data rate, pinout, drive strength, recommended layout, and environmental range—consult the official MAX3096ESE datasheet and product page. If you share your target bus standard, voltage, and temperature range, I can summarize the precise specs.

MAX3096ESE likely refers to a function in the MAX3096 family (RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485 transceiver), but the exact device isn’t clear from the suffix alone. Please confirm the function (RS-232 or RS-422/RS-485) and package/datasheet. Then I can give exact cross-references. For example: RS-232 equivalents—TI MAX3232, ST SP3232, Analog Devices ADM232; RS-485/422 equivalents—TI SN65HVD178/179, Analog Devices ADM2682/ADM2487.

Note: for exact electrical specs (data rate, voltage swings, current, and packaging), please consult the specific MAX3096ESE datasheet.

Pin count: 8 pins.
Function: Single-channel, half‑duplex RS‑485/RS‑422 transceiver. Provides DI (data in) to the driver, RO (data out) from the receiver, differential bus pins A and B, and control pins DE (driver enable) and /RE (receiver enable, active low), plus Vcc and GND.

- Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated. (Maxim Integrated is now part of Analog Devices.)
- Company type: A semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.

Max3096ESE is used for differential serial interfaces (RS-485/RS-422). Typical applications:
- Industrial automation and process-control networks
- Data acquisition and instrumentation
- Building automation and energy metering
- Telecom/networking equipment
- Point-of-sale terminals
- Automotive and rugged-environment networks requiring robust long-distance, noise-immune serial links

MAX3096ESE is available in an 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline) package.
