Product details

Part identity and function

The Maxim Integrated MAX491ECSD+ is a full-duplex transceiver in a 14-SOIC surface-mount package. It integrates one driver and one receiver, operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply, and is rated for 0°C to 70°C. The 70 mV receiver hysteresis improves noise margin, and the 2.5 Mbps data rate supports most industrial serial links.

2.5 Mbps and full duplex — what they mean for the bus

Full duplex means the MAX491 can transmit and receive simultaneously over a four-wire RS-422 bus (or a two-pair RS-485 network with separate enable control). The 2.5 Mbps data rate is typical for building-automation gateways, PLC-to-drive links, and multi-drop sensor networks where the cable run stays under about 400 m. At this speed the driver slew rate is fast enough that stub lengths on the bus should be kept under 30 cm to avoid reflections.

Lifecycle and supply posture

The MAX491ECSD+ carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the data rate of MAX491ECSD+?

The MAX491ECSD+ supports a data rate of 2.5 Mbps. This is the maximum rate under the specified supply and load conditions.

Does MAX491ECSD+ support full duplex?

Yes, the MAX491ECSD+ is a full-duplex transceiver. It can transmit and receive simultaneously, which is typical for RS-422 point-to-point links or four-wire RS-485 networks.
