The MAX3042 is a family of 5V quad RS-485/RS-422 transmitters designed for digital data transmission over twisted-pair balanced lines. All transmitter outputs are protected to ±10kV using the Human Body Model. 

The MAX3042 feature a hot-swap capability that eliminates false transitions on the data cable during power-up or hot insertion. The MAX3042B are optimized for data transfer rates up to 20Mbps. The MAX3042 offer optimum performance when used with the MAX3093E or MAX3095 5V quad differential line receivers or MAX3094E/MAX3096 3V quad differential line receivers.

The MAX3042 are ESD-protected pin-compatible, low-power upgrades to the industry-standard 'SN75174 and 'DS26LS31C. They are available in space-saving TSSOP, narrow SO, and wide SO packages.
