MAX485EPA+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX485EPA+ from Analog Devices is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. This device integrates one driver and one receiver, making it suitable for half-duplex applications. It supports data transmission speeds of up to 2.5Mbps, with drivers that are not slew-rate limited.

 

The transceiver operates from a single 5V supply and features a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open-circuited. Drivers are protected against short-circuit currents and excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry.

 

Packaged in an 8-pin PDIP, the MAX485EPA+ is designed for through-hole mounting. Its specifications make it suitable for applications requiring reliable serial communication in industrial control and local area networks where EMI sensitivity is a concern.
