These devices are designed to increase the uptime of industrial systems for production plant networks. The MAX33012E features the industry's most advanced fault detection and reporting capabilities, while the MAX33072E provides the ability to connect the widest range of disparate nodes, increasing reliability by enabling the connection of nodes with large ground differences.

Reliable connectivity is essential to optimize performance and improve system uptime in the manufacturing of many critical industrial applications, such as asset management systems and communication fieldbus modules.

MAX33012E: Overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission errors on the CAN bus will halt production and take expensive machinery offline. To overcome this challenge, the MAX33012E features fault detection on the CANH and CANL data lines for overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission errors, as well as fault code reporting. The MAX33012E's detection and reporting capabilities enable faster troubleshooting so that vital links can be restored immediately.

MAX33072E: Modern industrial and manufacturing systems require high common-mode voltage tolerance for communication between disparate systems. The MAX33072E's common-mode range (CMR) is 1.6 times greater than that of the closest competitor (receiver only). With the ability to connect the widest range of disparate nodes, it expands the size of the communication network, allowing more machines to operate across larger areas with simple and reliable links. The MAX33072E's ±40V CMR enables industrial systems to connect and communicate in electrically noisy environments, up to a voltage difference of -40V or +40V between two nodes.

Key Advantages
- Increased Uptime: Competitive CAN solutions do not offer fault detection and reporting together, leaving system operators to troubleshoot without knowing the source of the fault or specific details. The MAX33012E gets CAN networks back online faster through industry-leading detection, reporting, and classification of overvoltage, overcurrent, and transmission faults.
- Maximum ESD Protection: The MAX33012E provides ±45kV of electrostatic discharge (ESD) fault protection, which is 1.8 times higher than the closest competitor, making network data transmissions more resilient to ESD.
- Higher CMR: The MAX33012E's CMR is integrated into both the controller and receiver for bidirectional communication.
