MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX481EPA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX481EPA+ is a low power RS-485/RS-422 transceiver in an 8-pin DIP package. It features one driver and one receiver, with a high slew rate that supports data transmission speeds up to 2.5 Mbps. The driver is short circuit current limited and protected against excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry, which places the outputs into a high impedance state if necessary. It includes fail-safe circuitry that ensures a logic high output when the receiver input is open. The transceiver operates with a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and a temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. Designed for half-duplex communication, it consumes just 0.1µA in shutdown mode and has a quiescent current of 300µA. The device features receiver and driver enable functions and allows up to 32 transceivers on the bus. It is suitable for applications in communications, networking, and industrial environments. Market demand has extended lead times, and delivery dates may fluctuate. The product is exempt from discounts.
