MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX488EPA RS485 Transceiver

The MAX488EPA+ is a low-power, slew rate-limited RS485/RS422 transceiver housed in an 8-pin DIP package. It features one driver and one receiver, with a driver designed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, enabling error-free data transmission up to 250 kbps. The transceiver includes short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown protection to prevent damage from excessive power dissipation. It also incorporates fail-safe circuitry, ensuring a logic high output when the receiver input is open. Operating within a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and an ambient temperature of -40°C to 85°C, it supports full duplex communication and up to 32 transceivers on a single bus. Typical applications include communications, networking, and industrial systems.
