Product details
Overview
MAX422MTV from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, dual-channel RS-422/RS-485 line driver with ±15kV ESD protection, 60Mbps data rate, and operation over –55°C to +125°C. It features complementary differential outputs, low skew (≤1ns), and supports point-to-point or multidrop industrial communication links.
For engineers reviewing the MAX422MTV datasheet, MAX422MTV pinout, MAX422MTV application, or MAX422MTV equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation across extended temperature, true RS-422 drive capability (±4V min into 54Ω), differential skew tolerance in high-speed serial timing, and metal-can TO package suitability for ruggedized or military-grade PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX422MTV implements two independent, noninverting RS-422 drivers with internal 54Ω output termination resistors and integrated ESD diodes on all I/O pins. Its driver stage uses bipolar transistor logic optimized for fast edge rates (tr/tf ≤ 3.5ns) and minimal pulse-width distortion.
It requires only a single +5V supply, draws 25mA typical quiescent current per channel, and maintains specified output voltage swing (≥±4V) under load across its full operating temperature range without external biasing or compensation components.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RS-422 line driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65LVD22D | 3.3V-only supply; no metal-can option; ±12kV ESD | Limited to commercial temp range (–40°C to +85°C); not qualified for extended temp or hermetic sealing | Select when cost-sensitive commercial designs use 3.3V infrastructure and do not require extended temperature or hermetic reliability |
| THVD1550DR | Integrated isolation; 50Mbps max; ±16kV ESD; SOIC-8 | Provides galvanic isolation but lacks dual-driver configuration and extended temperature support | Choose when system-level isolation is mandatory and dual-channel drive is handled by separate devices |
Compared with SN65LVD22D and THVD1550DR, the MAX422MTV uniquely combines dual RS-422 drivers, hermetic metal-can packaging, –55°C to +125°C operation, and ±15kV ESD in a single 8-pin TO package-making it irreplaceable for high-reliability, thermally extreme, or EMI-intensive deployments where board space and failure tolerance are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by the MAX422MTV?
The MAX422MTV supports a maximum data rate of 60Mbps under load conditions specified in the datasheet (54Ω termination, 2Vpp differential). This performance is guaranteed across its full operating temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) and is validated using standard RS-422 waveform compliance testing. The MAX422MTV achieves this speed with rise/fall times ≤3.5ns and pulse skew ≤1ns between channels.
Does the MAX422MTV require external termination resistors?
No, the MAX422MTV integrates 54Ω termination resistors internally on both driver outputs. These match standard RS-422 characteristic impedance and eliminate the need for external surface-mount resistors, reducing PCB area and assembly steps. External termination may still be used at the far end of the transmission line per RS-422 topology guidelines, but the MAX422MTV itself does not require it for basic compliance.
Is the MAX422MTV RoHS compliant?
The MAX422MTV is not RoHS/lead-free compliant, as confirmed in Maxim's official documentation and materials analysis reports. It uses leaded solder in its hermetic metal-can assembly and is designated "RoHS/Lead-Free: No" in the manufacturer's part number table. For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider the MAX422CPA+ or consult Aetrix Electronics for qualified drop-in replacements with equivalent performance and packaging.
What is the function of Pin 3 (RO1) on the MAX422MTV?
Pin 3 (RO1) is the inverting receiver output of the first RS-422 receiver channel in the MAX422MTV. It delivers the complement of the signal present on RI1 (Pin 4), forming a fully differential receiver pair. This output is designed to interface directly with differential-input logic or comparators, and its voltage swing is referenced to the device's GND (Pin 2) with rail-to-rail capability under specified load conditions.
Can the MAX422MTV operate from a 3.3V supply?
No, the MAX422MTV is specified for single +5V ±5% operation only. Its internal driver stages, ESD protection network, and output voltage swing (≥±4V into 54Ω) are optimized for 5V rail operation. Attempting to power the MAX422MTV from 3.3V will result in insufficient output swing, degraded timing margins, and potential noncompliance with RS-422 standards. For 3.3V systems, consider the MAX3485 or SN65LVD22 families instead.
