Product Details
The MAX488 is a Full Duplex transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 bus communication. The MAX488 contains both a driver and receiver for the RS-485 bus together with protection against short-circuits and thermal overload. The MAX488 has a reduced slew-rate to minimize EMI and to reduce reflections in long, improperly terminated cables, this allows for error-free data transmission up to 250kbps.
Features
- Low Quiescent Current
- Slew Rate Limited for Error-Free Data Transmission
- -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
