MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX488CSA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX488CSA+ is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. It features slew-rate-limited drivers to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimize signal reflections, enabling error-free data transmission at speeds up to 250 kbps. Each device includes one driver and one receiver. The transceiver operates with low supply current, ranging from 120 to 500 microamps, whether unloaded or with drivers disabled. Drivers are protected against short circuits and excessive dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry, which places outputs in high-impedance state if necessary. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that outputs a logic high when the input is open. The MAX488 is suitable for full-duplex communication systems and supports up to 32 receivers on the bus, with an 8-pin package. Common applications include industrial and networking communications. Note: Due to high market demand, lead times may be extended, and delivery dates can fluctuate. The product is exempt from discounts.
