Product Details

The MAX485 RS485 Transceiver is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 bus communication. The MAX485 contains both a driver and receiver for the RS-485 bus together with protection against short-circuits and thermal overload. The driver slew rates are not limited on the MAX485 and this IC can transmit data up to 2.5Mbps.

Features

  • Low Quiescent Current
  • -7V to +12V Common-Mode Input Voltage Range
  • Three State Outputs
  • Up to 32 Transmitters on a Bus
  • Operates from a Single 5V Supply
  • Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver Overload Protection
