RS-485/RS-422 half-duplex transceiver, 250 kbps
The MAX1483ESA+ is a single-channel half-duplex transceiver supporting both RS-485 and RS-422 protocols at a data rate of 250 kbps — the standard ceiling for most building-automation and industrial fieldbus segments where cable length exceeds 100 m.
Receiver hysteresis and noise margin
The 75 mV of receiver hysteresis provides a clean switching threshold on a long stub or unterminated drop — enough to suppress the differential noise that a 250 kbps edge couples onto an unshielded twisted pair in an elevator shaft or HVAC duct.
