MAX3483ECPA

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MAX3483ECPA+ is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates on a single +3.3V supply with a guaranteed data rate of 0.25 Mbps and features slew-rate-limited drivers to minimize EMI. The device includes ±15kV ESD protection, a 2nA low-current shutdown mode, and fail-safe receiver inputs. It is housed in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Slew-rate-limited driver minimizes electromagnetic interference and reduces reflections for error-free transmission
• Enhanced electrostatic discharge protection on all I/O pins withstands high static shocks without damage
• Low-power shutdown mode significantly reduces supply current consumption when disabled
• Fail-safe receiver input guarantees a logic-high output state if both differential inputs are open

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Telecommunications systems
• Industrial-control local area networks
• Integrated services digital networks
• Packet switching applications

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure the component matches the required interface standard and voltage specifications before integration into the design.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for half-duplex communication requiring robust EMI performance. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified commercial temperature range and utilizes a 3.3V power supply.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX3483E family of low-power transceivers designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communications. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MAX3485E and MAX3486E but is distinguished by its specific data rate and duplex configuration.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the MAX3483E family such as the MAX3483EESA or MAX3483EEPA, provided the package and temperature requirements align with the system design constraints.
