Datasheet Summary
UMW MAX3485ESA
3.3V power supply, up to 256 nodes, 12Mbps half-duplex, RS485/RS422 transceiver
1.Description
The MAX3485E is a 3.3V powered, half-duplex, lowpower RS-485 transceiver that fully meets the requirements of the TIA/EIA-485 standard. The MAX3485E includes a driver and a receiver, both of which can be independently enabled and disabled. When both are disabled, both the driver and the receiver output a high impedance state. The MAX3485E has a 1/8 load that allows 256 MAX3485E transceivers to be connected to the same munication bus. Error-free data transfer of up to 12Mbps is possible. The MAX3485E operates from a voltage range of 3.0 to 3.6V and Features fail-safe, over...
