The MAX483CUA+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX Series of transceivers. Manufactured by Maxim Integrated, this device is specifically designed for RS-485 communication applications. It provides reliable data transmission over long distances, making it suitable for industrial control systems, building automation, and other similar scenarios.
The key features of the MAX483CUA+ are as follows:
1. RS-485 Compatibility: The MAX483CUA+ is a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver, meaning it can both transmit and receive data on the RS-485 bus. It supports a high-speed data rate of up to 250kbps, making it ideal for applications requiring fast and efficient communication.
2. Low Power Consumption: This IC operates with a low supply current of just 300µA, enabling power-efficient operation. It is particularly useful in battery-powered or energy-conscious applications, where minimizing power consumption is essential.
3. Wide Supply Voltage Range: The MAX483CUA+ can operate over a wide supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25V, allowing for flexibility in various system power configurations.
4. Fail-Safe Receiver Input: The receiver input of the MAX483CUA+ is fail-safe, meaning it guarantees a logical high output when the input is shorted or floating. This fail-safe feature ensures that any idle bus conditions will result in a known valid output level
