Industrial temperature range and noise margin
The MAX14770EESA+T: The 50 mV receiver hysteresis provides a noise margin that rejects common-mode transients on long RS-485 cable runs, reducing false bit transitions on a busy bus.
Supply voltage and 5V RS-485 compatibility
Operating from a single 4.5V to 5.5V supply, the MAX14770EESA+T is designed for 5V RS-485 systems. The 20 Mbps data rate supports high-speed polling or streaming over twisted-pair cabling without the throughput bottleneck of slower transceivers. The half-duplex architecture means the driver and receiver share the same bus pair — the host MCU controls the direction pin to switch between transmit and receive.
