RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers with Preemphasis for High-Speed, Long-Distance Communication
________________General Description
The MAX3291/MAX3292 high-speed RS-485/RS-422 transceivers feature driver preemphasis circuitry, which extends the distance and increases the data rate of reliable communication by reducing intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by long cables. The MAX3291 is programmable for data rates of 5Mbps to 10Mbps, while the MAX3292 is programmable for data rates up to 10Mbps by using a single external resistor. The MAX3291/MAX3292 are full-duplex devices that operate from a single +5V supply and offer a low-current shutdown mode that reduces supply current to 100nA.
