MAX488 - Low-Power Slew-Rate Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers

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
