MAX3480EAEPI+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX3480EAEPI+ is an electrically isolated RS-485/RS-422 data interface transceiver designed for robust communication in demanding environments. It integrates transceivers, optocouplers, and a transformer into a single 28-pin PDIP package, powered by a single +3.3V supply.

 

This transceiver supports high-speed data transmission up to 2.5Mbps, with drivers protected against short-circuit conditions and thermal shutdown. The I/O pins feature ±15kV ESD protection without latchup. The isolated data interface is guaranteed to withstand 1260VRMS for 1 minute, meeting RS-485/RS-422 specifications.

 

Applications include isolated RS-485/RS-422 data interfaces, transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications, industrial control networks, automatic test equipment, and telecom systems. The device allows up to 128 transceivers on the bus.
