The MAX 485 is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. It features a single driver and receiver, making it ideal for half-duplex communication. With its low power consumption and high data rate capabilities, it is suitable for various industrial and commercial applications.

Key Features:

• Low Power Consumption: Draws between 120A and 500A of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers.
• High Data Rate: Capable of transmitting data up to 2.5Mbps.
• Thermal Shutdown Protection: Protects the device from excessive power dissipation by placing the driver outputs into a high-impedance state during thermal overloads.
• Short-Circuit Current Limiting: Drivers are short-circuit current limited to protect against bus contention faults.
• Compact Package: Available in an 8-pin SOIC and DIP package, suitable for space-constrained applications.

Package Includes:

• 1 x MAX 485 Low-Power RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
