Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EPI+' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the exact package type and temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's latest datasheet or certification documents before procurement. Check for any regional distribution restrictions that may affect availability.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5V supply is required for RS-485 applications. Ensure the design accommodates the 28-pin PDIP footprint and through-hole assembly process. Verify that the 250 kb/s data rate meets the system's throughput requirements. Consider thermal management if the ambient temperature approaches the upper operational limit.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX1480B/MAX3480 series of isolated and standard RS-485 transceivers. It shares functional similarities with other Maxim Integrated interface ICs but is distinct in its specific 5V supply requirement and 28-pin packaging configuration compared to lower-pin-count variants.
