MAX481EESA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX481EESA is a low-power transceiver suitable for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. It is designed to operate in harsh environments and offers protection against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks without latchup. This device features one driver and one receiver, supporting half-duplex communication at data rates up to 2.5Mbps.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, a typical supply current of 120µA when unloaded, and a low-current shutdown mode consuming only 0.5µA. The drivers are protected against short-circuit conditions and excessive power dissipation via thermal shutdown circuitry. The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open circuit.

 

Packaged in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package, the MAX481EESA operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Its robust design makes it suitable for applications requiring reliable data transmission in demanding conditions.
