Maxim Integrated Line Transceiver CMOS Driver & Receiver IC, Through Hole DIP Package, 3.3V Supply, 8-Pin MAX3485EPA+

Maxim Integrated MAX3485EPA+ is a CMOS line transceiver designed for industrial and telecommunications applications. The device features both driver and receiver functions in a compact 8-pin DIP through-hole package that operates efficiently from a single 3.3V supply without requiring a charge pump.

The transceiver supports a wide common-mode input voltage range from -7V to +12V, enabling robust operation in noisy environments. It incorporates slew-rate limiting to ensure error-free data transmission and includes current limiting and thermal shutdown to protect the driver from overload conditions.

Operating over a broad temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, this component is suitable for demanding industrial control networks and integrated services digital networks. Its full-duplex and half-duplex versions facilitate flexible system designs. The transceiver allows up to 32 devices on a bus, supporting reliable network communications for local area networking and packet switching.

The MAX3485EPA+ device is designed to be interoperable with +5V logic levels and features a maximum propagation delay of 90ns, ensuring responsive data handling. With a supply current of 2.2mA, it serves low power embedded system requirements effectively. The 8-pin DIP form factor allows easy insertion for manufacturing and prototyping setups.

Operates from a single 3.3V supply without charge pump requirements. Interoperable with +5V logic for broad compatibility. Slew-rate limited output reduces transmission errors. Voltage common-mode range of -7V to +12V for robust noise immunity.

Thermal shutdown and current limiting provide driver protection. Meets industry-standard 75176 pinout for ease of replacement and design. Supports up to 32 transceivers on the communication bus. Designed for industrial control, telecommunications, low-power transceiver applications.

This product includes an 8-pin DIP package line transceiver IC and is made in the Philippines. It is classified under Line Interface ICs within semiconductor components, suitable for various industrial electronics applications requiring reliable data communication.
