MAX488CPA

The MAX488CPA is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the MAX488 family of low-power, slew-rate-limited RS-485/RS-422 transceivers. It is designed to facilitate long-distance communication over twisted-pair cable or differential lines. The MAX488CPA offers various key features that make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. One of the notable features of the MAX488CPA is its low power consumption. It operates on a supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 5.25V, making it highly efficient and suitable for low-power systems. This feature ensures that the IC component conserves energy resources, making it ideal for battery-powered or energy-conscious applications. Moreover, the MAX488CPA provides a high level of robustness and noise-immunity. It has a typical slew rate of 12V/µs, which restricts electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces the possibility of data corruption, making it well-suited for environments with high levels of electrical noise. The IC also incorporates a fail-safe receiver circuitry, ensuring that it receives valid data even when the transmission line is idle. The MAX488CPA supports full-duplex, half-duplex, or multipoint RS-485/RS-422 communication. It has a wide common-mode input voltage range, allowing it to be compatible with various interface standards
