Maxim MAX14819 dual IO-Link master transceiver

Designers of Industry 4.0 applications can now achieve robust communications and reduce power dissipation with the MAX14819 dual-channel, IO-Link master transceiver from Maxim Integrated Products.

The architecture of the MAX14819 dissipates 50% less heat compared to other IO-Link Master solutions, according to the company, and is fully compatible in all modes for IO-Link and SIO compliance. Robust L+ supply controllers with settable current limiting and reverse voltage/current protection help ensure robust communications with low power consumption. With just one microcontroller, the integrated framer/universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) enables scalable architecture while enabling fast cycle times (up to 400 µs) and reducing latency.

The product is available in a 48-pin (7 x 7 mm) TQFN package and operates over the -40 to +125°C temperature range. Applications include IO-Link master systems and IO-Link gateways.
