The ADM3486EARZ-REEL7 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that serves as a low-power, half-duplex, RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. It is commonly used in industrial automation, building automation, and process control applications to facilitate reliable long-distance communication.
This IC incorporates several key features that make it suitable for such applications. First and foremost, the ADM3486EARZ-REEL7 offers a low power consumption of only 370 µA, enabling energy-efficient operation. This makes it ideal for battery-powered systems and other low-power applications.
Another important feature of this IC component is its robustness and high level of protection against harsh environments. It includes integrated line drivers and receivers that can withstand voltage spikes up to ±60V, protecting the transceiver and connected equipment from damage.
The ADM3486EARZ-REEL7 also incorporates a differential receiver with fail-safe protection to ensure a high level of data integrity. It supports a wide common-mode voltage range from -7V to +12V, allowing reliable data transmission even in noisy industrial environments.
Furthermore, this transceiver IC supports data rates of up to 250 kbps, allowing for high-speed communication over long distances. It includes a slew rate-limited driver that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces reflections on the transmission line, enhancing signal quality
