Product details

40 Mbps half-duplex transceiver for RS-485/RS-422 buses

The MAX3468CSA+ is a single-channel half-duplex transceiver supporting both RS-422 and RS-485 protocols at a rated data rate of 40 Mbps — fast enough for high-throughput industrial backplanes and multi-drop sensor networks where the bus clock runs at several MHz.

Operating from a single 5 V supply with ±5 % tolerance, the MAX3468CSA+ is a drop-in for legacy 5 V RS-485 buses where the line driver needs the full swing for common-mode range.
