Press Release | Newest Basic Analog Transceivers from Maxim Provide Reliable Connectivity and Maximum Uptime for Industrial Networks with Enhanced Fault Detection and Operating Range

The MAX33012E integrates fault detection and reporting to significantly improve CAN network reliability; the MAX33072E extends RS-485 networks with the industry's highest common-mode range

For many critical industrial applications, such as asset management systems and communication fieldbus modules, reliable connectivity is essential to optimize production processes and increase system uptime.

MAX33012E: Overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission errors on the CAN bus will cause production stoppages and expensive machines to sit idle. To overcome this challenge, the MAX33012E is able to detect faults on the data lines CANH and CANL, including overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission faults, and report fault codes. The MAX33012E's detection and reporting capabilities enable the fastest troubleshooting of such faults and reestablishment of link communication.

MAX33072E: Modern industrial and manufacturing systems require high common-mode voltage tolerance to support normal communication between different nodes. The MAX33072E allows a common-mode range (CMR) that is 1.6 times higher (receiver) than the closest competing product, which is used to connect widely distributed nodes, thereby expanding the scale of communication networks, allowing more machines to work together in a larger area, and the link construction is simple and reliable. The MAX33072E has a CMR of ±40V, which can reliably build connections and communications for industrial systems in noisy environments, allowing the ground potential difference between two nodes to be as high as -40V or +40V.

• Improved uptime: Competitive CAN transceiver solutions do not have both fault detection and reporting capabilities, leaving system operators without knowing the source or details of the problem when diagnosing it. The MAX33012E enables CAN networks to recover faster with the industry’s only fault detection, reporting, and sequencing capabilities for overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission errors.

• Highest ESD protection: The MAX33012E provides ±45kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) fault protection, 1.8 times higher than the nearest competitive product, allowing data transmission networks to withstand higher ESD strikes.

• Highest CMR: The MAX33072E features ultra-high CMR at both driver outputs and receiver inputs.
