MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX481CSA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX481CSA+ is a low-power, half-duplex transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. Each unit features one driver and one receiver, supporting data speeds up to 2.5 Mbps. It operates from a single 5V supply, consuming 120 to 500 microamperes depending on load. Features include short-circuit current limiting, thermal shutdown protection, fail-safe receiver circuitry guaranteeing logic-high output if open circuit, and enable control for driver and receiver. Suitable for industrial control, level translation, and EMI-sensitive applications, it offers reliable performance in compact 8-pin packages, with high demand causing extended lead times.
