MAX14781E
Half-Duplex RS-485 Transceiver with Polarity Correction
General Description
The MAX14781E +5V, half-duplex ±25kV ESD-protected RS-485 transceiver features integrated automatic polarity correction to ensure that miswired A and B lines are autonomously corrected, simplifying equipment and network installation.
The MAX14781E includes slew-rate limited drivers that minimize EMI, allowing for error-free data transmission up to 370kbps.
This device includes fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are shorted or open. Hot-swap functionality on the receiver and driver enable inputs also eliminates false transitions on the bus during power-up or live insertion.
