MAX488EEPA+ [Analog Devices]

The MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E–MAX491E, and MAX1487E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communications in harsh environments. They feature ±15kV ESD protection, slew-rate limiting for reduced EMI, and low power consumption with shutdown mode. Operated from a single +5V supply, they include driver short-circuit protection and receiver fail-safe features. Some models support quarter-unit-load receiver input impedance for up to 128 transceivers on the bus.
