RS-485 bus transceiver for industrial networks
The MAX1482ESD+T is a single-channel RS-485/RS-422 transceiver in a 14-SOIC package, handling one driver and one receiver for full-duplex communication on a differential bus. Rated for 250 kbps data rate, this part suits applications where cable runs extend past 100 m — the lower slew rate limits reflections and maintains signal integrity over longer distances compared to faster transceivers. The 75 mV receiver hysteresis provides noise margin on the bus, reducing false triggering from ground shifts or coupled interference common in factory-floor wiring.
