MAX1484CUB+T

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX1484CUB+T is a software-selectable, full-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver housed in a 10-pin µMAX package. It operates on a single +5V supply with a typical quiescent current of 300µA and supports data rates up to 12Mbps. The device features one driver and one receiver with a 1/8-unit-load input impedance, enabling up to 256 transceivers on the bus. It includes thermal shutdown protection and fail-safe receiver inputs. The C suffix indicates an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Compact 10-pin µMAX package for space-constrained designs
• High-speed operation up to 12Mbps without slew-rate limiting
• Low-power consumption with 300µA typical supply current
• Robust protection against short circuits and excessive power dissipation

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Low-power RS-422/RS-485 communications
• Industrial-control local area networks
• Hand-held equipment
• Battery-powered equipment

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type and temperature range. Ensure the component matches the required industrial specifications for your application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official distributor catalogs to confirm authenticity and availability status before finalizing procurement plans.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-speed full-duplex communication in a minimal footprint. It is suitable where standard RS-485 unit loads are insufficient due to the 1/8-unit-load receiver impedance. Consider the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range when evaluating environmental constraints compared to extended temperature variants.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX148x family of high-speed transceivers designed for RS-485 and RS-422 standards. It serves as a functional equivalent to industry-standard parts like the MAX491 and 75180. The MAX1484 variant specifically provides fixed full-duplex operation, distinguishing it from selectable half-/full-duplex models within the same series.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The MAX1484CUA+T is a confirmed alternative offering the same electrical characteristics in a different package format.
