The MAX483EESA is a low-power, RS-485/RS-422 transceiver IC component developed by Maxim Integrated. It offers a range of features that make it suitable for various industrial applications.
This IC supports full-duplex data transmission over long distances using twisted-pair cables, making it ideal for use in industrial control systems, point-of-sale terminals, and networked sensors. It is designed to operate with a wide supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V, ensuring compatibility with different power sources.
One of the key features of the MAX483EESA is its integrated ±15kV ESD protection on the bus pins. This protects the IC from electrostatic discharge, increasing its reliability and robustness in harsh industrial environments. Additionally, the transceiver is equipped with hot-swap circuitry, allowing for live insertion and removal without disrupting the communication on the bus.
The driver outputs of this IC have a high slew rate, providing fast signal rise/fall times and facilitating high-speed data transmission up to 250kbps. It also offers a low quiescent current of 300μA, contributing to reduced power consumption and extended battery life in portable applications.
The MAX483EESA supports both half-duplex and full-duplex operation, selectable through the driver enable/receiver enable (DE/RE) pin. This flexibility allows it to adapt to different communication scenarios
