MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX488ESA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX488ESA is a low-power, slew-rate-limited RS-485 transceiver designed for industrial and communication applications requiring robust, error-free data transfer. It supports data rates up to 10 Mbps with high ESD protection and fault-tolerance features, making it ideal for space-constrained environments. The device operates from a single 3.3V supply, featuring low supply current and built-in thermal shutdown for driver protection. Its half-duplex mode and high input impedance enable multiple transceivers to be used on a multipoint bus, ensuring reliable communication in industrial control, automation, and EMC-sensitive projects.
