MAXM22510/MAXM22511
2.5kVRMS Complete Isolated RS-485/RS-422 Module Transceiver + Power
General Description
The MAXM22510 and MAXM22511 isolated RS-485/ RS-422, full-duplex, transceiver modules provide 2500VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation between the cableside (RS-485/RS-422 driver/receiver side) and the UARTside of the device. An integrated DC-DC powers the cable-side of the module. No external components are required.
Isolation improves communication by breaking ground loops and reduces noise when there are large differences in ground potential between ports. These devices allow for robust communication up to 500kbps (MAXM22510) and 25Mbps (MAXM22511).
The MAXM22510/MAXM22511 operate from a single 3.
