Product Summary

The MAX481ECSA is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 communications in harsh environments. Each driver output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. These parts contain one driver and one receiver. The driver slew rate of the MAX481ECSA is not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps. Applications include Low-Power RS-485 Transceivers, Low-Power RS-422 Transceivers, Level Translators, Transceivers for EMI-Sensitive Applications and Industrial-Control Local Area Networks.
