MAX3471 Datasheet (Maxim) - Differential Transceiver

MAX3471, Differential Transceiver

The MAX3471 half-duplex transceiver is intended for lithium battery-powered RS-485/RS-422 applications.

It draws only 1.6µA (typical) supply current from a 3.6V supply with the receiver enabled and the driver disabled.

Its wide 2.5V to 5.5V supply voltage guarantees operation over the lifetime of a

MAX3471 Features

* true fail-safe operation that guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The MAX3471 has a 1/8-unit load input resistance. When d
