Product details

Serial-link transceiver for industrial bus networks

The MAX3486CPA is an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Analog Devices, designed for balanced differential signalling on multi-drop serial buses up to 10 Mbps (typical for the family).

The RS-485/RS-422 driver outputs and receiver inputs are fully compatible with 3.3 V logic levels, simplifying interface design.

The MAX3486CPA is (typically tubes or trays), not tape-and-reel, so plan for manual or low-volume placement rather than high-speed pick-and-place. It is marked RoHS non-compliant, which means the leads contain lead — confirm your assembly line's exemption or waiver before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Does MAX3486CPA support 3.3V operation?

Yes, the MAX3486CPA is an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed for a 3.3 V supply rail, making it compatible with 3.3 V logic systems.

Is MAX3486CPA a direct replacement for MAX3485?

Both are 3.3 V RS-485/RS-422 transceivers in the same family, but the datasheet should be checked for pinout and electrical specification differences before substitution.
