MAX481CSA+T

The MAX481CSA+T is designed as one kind of ±15kV ESD-protected, slew-rate-limited, low-power, RS-485/RS-422 transceiver that draws as little as 120A supply current when unloaded or when fully loaded with disabled drivers. 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 MAX481CSA+T are:(1)In MAX Package: Smallest 8-Pin SO; (2)Slew-Rate Limited for Error-Free Data Transmission; (3)Low Quiescent Current: 120  uA; (4).7V to +12V Common-Mode Input Voltage Range; (5)Three-State Outputs; (6)Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex Versions Available; (7)Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver Overload Protection.

The absolute maximum ratings of the MAX481CSA+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).
