MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX488CPA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX488CPA+ is a low-power, slew-rate-limited transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. Each device includes one driver and one receiver, offering reduced EMI and minimized signal reflections due to its low-slew-rate drivers, which enable error-free data transmission up to 250 kbps. It operates from a single 5V supply and consumes between 120 µA and 500 µA of current depending on load conditions. The drivers are short-circuit current limited and feature thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that ensures a high-level output when the input is open circuit. This transceiver is suitable for full-duplex communication, industrial control systems, local area networks, and applications requiring low power and EMI sensitivity.
