General Description
The MAX3097E/MAX3098E feature three high-speed RS-485/RS-422 receivers with fault-detection circuitry and
fault-status outputs. The receivers’ inputs have fault thresholds that detect when the part is not in a valid state.

FEATUREs
♦Detects the Following RS-485 Faults:
  Open-Circuit Condition
  Short-Circuit Condition
  Low Differential Voltage Signal
  Common-Mode Range Violation
♦ESD Protection
  ±15kV—Human Body Model
  ±15kV—IEC 1000-4-2, Air-Gap Discharge Method
  ±8kV—IEC 1000-4-2, Contact Discharge Method
♦Single +3V to +5.5V Operation
♦-10V to +13.2V Extended Common-Mode Range
♦Capacitor-Programmable Delay of Fault Indication Allows Error-Free Operation at Slow Data Rates
♦Independent and Universal Fault Outputs
♦32Mbps Data Rate
♦16-Pin QSOP is 40% Smaller than Industry Standard26LS31/32 Solutions
