MAX485 Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver

DESCRIPTION
The MAX485 is low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS422 communication. The IC contains one driver and one receiver. The driver slew rates of the MAX485 is not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps. These transceivers draw between 120A and 500A of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. All parts operate from a single 5V supply. Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The MAX485 is designed for half-duplex applications.

PIN DESCRIPTION
No. 1 2 Name RO RE Function Receive output: if A > B by 200mV, RO will be high; if A < B by 200mV, RO will be low. Receiver Output Enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. Driver Output Enable. The driver outputs are enabled when DE is high. They are high impedance when DE is low. If the driver outputs are enabled, the parts function as line drivers. While they are high impedance, they function as line receivers if RE is low. Driver input. A low on DI forces output A low and output B high. Similarly, a high on DI forces output A high and output B low. Ground Driver Output and Receiver differential input.
