The MAX1482CSD+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that serves as a serial interface transceiver. It is specifically designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols, enabling reliable data transmission in industries such as industrial automation, telecommunications, and automotive applications. This IC offers various key features that enhance its performance and functionality.
One of the essential features of the MAX1482CSD+ is its half-duplex, 3.3V-powered transceiver. It is capable of achieving data rates up to 2.5Mbps, ensuring high-speed communication between devices. The IC offers robust protection against electrical noise and voltage spikes commonly encountered in industrial environments. Its ±15kV ESD protection on the RS-485 I/O pins minimizes the risk of damage caused by electrostatic discharge.
The MAX1482CSD+ also offers a wide input common-mode voltage range, extending from -7V to +12V. This allows the IC to operate efficiently even in situations where common-mode voltage levels fluctuate. With a low shutdown current of only 1μA, the IC is highly power-efficient and suitable for battery-powered or energy-constrained applications.
Moreover, the MAX1482CSD+ supports a variety of control options, making it adaptable to different system requirements. It features a 1/8-unit load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers to be connected on the bus
