20 Mbps half-duplex RS-485 transceiver for 5V industrial buses
The MAX3463CSA+ is a single-channel half-duplex transceiver supporting RS-422 and RS-485 protocols at a data rate of 20 Mbps.
5V supply rail and commercial temperature range
This part is not rated for 3.3 V operation; a 5 V bus is required.
Receiver hysteresis and noise immunity on long runs
The receiver includes 50 mV of hysteresis. On a long RS-485 stub with marginal termination, that hysteresis prevents the output from chattering when the differential signal sits near the threshold — a common failure mode on cables longer than 100 m at 20 Mbps.
