MAX488ESA+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX488ESA+ is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication, featuring one driver and one receiver. This device supports full-duplex communication and can transmit data at rates up to 250kbps. It operates from a single 5V supply and is suitable for EMI-sensitive applications.

 

The transceiver is housed in an 8-SOIC package, designed for surface mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The receiver 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.

 

This transceiver is ideal for industrial-control local area networks and other applications requiring reliable RS-485 or RS-422 communication. Its low-power consumption and robust design make it a versatile choice for various embedded systems.
