The MAX3088CSA+: Surface-mount assembly with tube delivery; the 8-SOIC profile suits automated pick-and-place without special handling.
RS-485/RS-422 link, 10 Mbps half-duplex
A single transceiver with one driver and one receiver on a half-duplex bus — the 10 Mbps data rate supports high-speed industrial fieldbus links over twisted-pair cabling up to 1200 m at lower baud rates. Receiver hysteresis of 100 mV provides noise margin on long cable runs, reducing the chance of false edges from ground shifts or reflections.
