MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX481CPA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX481CPA+ is a low-power RS485/RS422 transceiver in an 8-pin DIP package that includes one driver and one receiver. It supports full-duplex communication with a high slew rate, capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 2.5 Mbps. The driver features short circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage under fault conditions. The device offers fail-safe circuitry, ensuring a logic-high output when the receiver input is open. It operates within a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Designed primarily for half-duplex communication, it includes enable functions for both receiver and driver, with a quiescent current of approximately 300 µA and low-current shutdown mode consuming about 0.1 µA. It supports up to 32 transceivers on the same bus, making it suitable for industrial control, local area networks, level translation, and low-power applications that require EMI immunity. Please note that market demand has extended lead times, and delivery dates may fluctuate. The product is not eligible for discounts.
