MAX485ESA

The MAX485ESA is a versatile, high-speed, low-power transceiver that is designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication networks. It is an ideal choice for industrial automation, instrumentation, and data acquisition applications. This transceiver operates from a single 5V supply and is capable of driving a full-duplex communication link at speeds up to 10Mbps. It features a slew-rate-limited driver that minimizes noise and reduces EMI emissions, making it suitable for high-speed bus applications. The MAX485ESA incorporates a low-current shutdown mode, allowing you to disable the device when it is not in use, further reducing power consumption. It also includes a fail-safe receiver that guarantees a high-level output when the inputs are open, shorted, or in the inactive state. With its robustness and reliability, the MAX485ESA is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments. It is available in a small 8-pin SOIC package, making it easy to integrate into your design. Whether you are designing a new system or upgrading an existing one, the MAX485ESA is a proven solution for your RS-485 and RS-422 communication needs.
