MAX488ESA+T

The MAX488ESA+T is designed as one kind of low-power, slew-rate-limited RS-485/RS-422 transceiver that reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. This device can be used in wide range of applications such as:(1)low-power RS-422 transceivers; (2)low-power RS-485 transceivers; (3)level translators; (4)transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications; (5)industrial-control local area networks.

Features of the MAX488ESA+T are:(1)In MAX Package: Smallest 8-Pin SO;(2)Slew-Rate Limited for Error-Free Data Transmission;(3)0.1A Low-Current Shutdown Mode;(4)Low Quiescent Current: 300 A;(5)-7V to +12V Common-Mode Input Voltage Range;(6)Three-State Outputs;(7)30ns Propagation Delays, 5ns Skew;(8)Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex Versions Available;(9)Operate from a Single 5V Supply;(10)Current-Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver Overload Protection.

The absolute maximum ratings of the MAX488ESA+T can be summarized as:(1)Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec): +300°C;(2)Storage Temperature Range: -65°C to +160°C;(3)Operating Temperature Range: 0°C to +70°C;(4)Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70°C) 8-pin Plastic DIP: 727 mW;(5)Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70°C) 8-pin SO (derate 5.88mW/°C above +70°C): 471 mW;(6)Supply Voltage (VCC): 12 V;(7)Control Input Voltage: -0.5V to (Vcc + 0.5V).
