Maxim Integrated (MAX13488EESA+) Transceiver RS422, RS485

Product OverviewThe MAX13488EESA+ is a half duplex, ±15KV ESD protected RS485/RS422 compatibletransceiver with AutoDirection control architecture in 8 pin NSOIC package. This+5V powered transceiver has one driver and one receiver. The MAX13488E includeshot swap capability to eliminate false transitions on bus during power-up orlive insertion. AutoDirection control architecture makes the device ideal forapplications such as isolated RS485 ports where the driver input is used inconjunction with driver enable signal to drive differential bus. The MAX13488Edriver slew rate is not limited which allows transmit speeds up to 16Mbps. Thedevice has 1/4 unit load receiver input impedance, it allows up to 128transceivers on the bus. All driver outputs are protected to ±15KV ESD using thehuman body model (HBM). It is typically used in utility meters and automatedsystems.Supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25VOperating temperature range from -40°C to 85°CEliminates an isolated control channel with AutoDirection architectureAutoDirection saves space, BOM cost and eliminates an opto or other discretemeans of isolationOptions optimize designs for speed or errorless data transmissionSupply current of 4.5mAShutdown supply current of 10µAAutoDirection enables driver automatically on transmissionApplicationsCommunications & Networking, Industrial, Motor Drive & Control
