Analog Devices (MAX488EEPA+) Transceiver RS422, RS485

Product OverviewThe MAX488EEPA+ is a ±15KV ESD protected, slew rate limited, low powerRS485/RS422 transceiver in 8 pin DIP package. This device is used as a low powertransceiver for RS485 and RS422 communications in harsh environments. The driveroutput and receiver input is protected against ±15KV electro static discharge(ESD) shocks without latch-up. The reduced slew rate driver minimizes EMI andreduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing errorfree data transmission up to 250Kbps. The driver is short circuit currentlimited and is protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdowncircuitry that places the driver outputs into a high impedance state. Itfeatures fail-safe circuitry which has a logic high receiver output when thereceiver input is open.Supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25VOperating temperature range from -40°C to 85°CDesigned for full duplex communicationQuiescent current is 120µAAllows up to 32 transceivers on the busProduct InformationDevice Type: TransceiverIC Interface Type: RS422, RS485No. of Drivers: 1DriversNo. of Receivers: 1ReceiversSupply Voltage Min: 4.75VSupply Voltage Max: 5.25VDriver Case Style: DIPNo. of Pins: 8PinsOperating Temperature Min: -40°COperating Temperature Max: 85°CProduct Range: -Automotive Qualification Standard: -MSL: MSL 1 - UnlimitedIC Generic Number: MAX488E
