The MAX488CPA from Maxim Integrated is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. It integrates one driver and one receiver, operating from a single 5V supply.
This transceiver features reduced slew-rate drivers, which minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, enabling error-free data transmission at speeds up to 250kbps. The device draws between 120µA and 500µA of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. Drivers are protected against short-circuit conditions and excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry.
The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that ensures a logic-high output when the input is open. The MAX488CPA is designed for full-duplex communications. Applications include low-power RS-485 and RS-422 transceivers, level translators, transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications, and industrial-control local area networks.
