MAX253CPA - MAX253 Transformer Driver for Isolated RS485 Interface

Product Details

The MAX253 is an oscillator/power-driver for a transformer, for providing isolated power for an isolated RS-485 or RS-232 data interface. The MAX253 drives a center-tapped transformer primary with either a 5V or 3.3V DC power supply. The secondary can be wound to provide any isolated voltage for power levels up to 1W.


Features
