The MAX481ESA-T is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX481 family of low-power, slew-rate-limited transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols. It is manufactured by Maxim Integrated. This IC is primarily designed to facilitate long-distance data transmission in industrial applications.
Here are some key features of the MAX481ESA-T:
1. RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver: The MAX481ESA-T is a full-duplex transceiver that supports both RS-485 and RS-422 interfaces. It provides a balanced line driver and a receiver for each of the two bus lines, allowing bidirectional data transfer.
2. Slew-Rate Limiting: This IC incorporates integrated slew-rate limiting circuitry, which reduces the electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizes reflections caused by fast switching edges. The slew-rate control also enables error-free data communication over long distances.
3. Low Power Consumption: With its low power dissipation, the MAX481ESA-T is energy-efficient and ideal for battery-powered applications. It operates under a supply voltage range of +4.5V to +5.5V, making it suitable for various low-power systems.
4. High Data Rate: The MAX481ESA-T supports high-speed communication, allowing data rates of up to 2.5 Mbps. This enables the transmission of large amounts of data quickly and reliably
