MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX3488ECSA RS-485/RS422 Transceiver

The MAX3488ECSA+ is a 3.3V powered, ±15KV ESD protected, slew rate limited RS485/RS422 transceiver housed in an 8-pin NSOIC package. This low power device includes one driver and one receiver. The transceiver's driver features a controlled slew rate to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimize reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, enabling error-free data transmission at data rates up to 250 kbps. It provides enhanced ESD protection, with all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs protected up to ±15KV (IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge), ±8KV (IEC 1000-4-2 contact discharge), and ±15KV (human body model). The driver is short-circuit current limited and protected against excessive power dissipation via thermal shutdown circuitry, which places the driver outputs into high impedance when necessary. The receiver includes a fail-safe feature that outputs a logic high when inputs are open. Suitable for EMI-sensitive applications, digital networks, and packet switching, this transceiver operates from a single 3.3V supply without requiring a charge pump, supports full duplex communication, and is compatible with 5V logic levels. It supports common mode input voltages from -7V to +12V and operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.
