RS485 bus transceiver in a breadboard-friendly DIP
The LTC1483CN8#PBF is a half-duplex transceiver for RS422 and RS485 networks, packing one driver and one receiver into an 8-pin DIP package that fits standard breadboards and through-hole prototyping boards. Data rate is 250 kbps — fast enough for most industrial sensor buses and Modbus RTU links, but not intended for high-speed Profibus or CAN-FD applications. The 45 mV receiver hysteresis filters out noise picked up on long twisted-pair cable runs, reducing false edge triggers without external schmitt-trigger circuitry.
