MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX488CUA RS485 Transceiver

The MAX488CUA+ is a low power, slew rate-limited RS485/RS422 transceiver in an 8-pin µMAX package. It features one driver and one receiver, designed to minimize EMI and reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, enabling error-free data transmission at up to 250 kbps. The driver is short circuit current limited and protected against excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry that places the outputs into a high impedance state. It includes fail-safe circuitry, ensuring a logic high output when the receiver input is open. The device operates with a supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V, within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. It is intended for full duplex communication, with a quiescent current of approximately 120 µA, and supports up to 32 transceivers on a single bus. Applications include communications, networking, and industrial systems.
