Datasheet

_________________General Description
The MAX1480A/MAX1480B/MAX1480C/MAX1490A/
MAX1490B are complete, electrically isolated, RS-485/
RS-422 data-communications interface solutions in a
hybrid microcircuit. Transceivers, optocouplers, and a
transformer provide a complete interface in a standard
DIP package. A single +5V supply on the logic side pow-
ers both sides of the interface.
The MAX1480B/MAX1480C/MAX1490B feature reduced-
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflec-
tions caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission at data rates up to 250kbps.
The MAX1480A/MAX1490A driver slew rate is not limited,
allowing transmission rates up to 2.5Mbps. The
MAX1480A/B/C are designed for half-duplex communi-
cation, while the MAX1490A/B feature full-duplex com-
munication.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and protected
against excessive power dissipation by thermal shut-
down circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-
impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe
feature that guarantees a known output (RO low for the
MAX1480A/B/C, RO high for the MAX1490A/B) if the
input is open circuit.
The MAX1480A/MAX1480B/MAX1480C/MAX1490A/
MAX1490B typically withstand 1600V
RMS
(1 minute) or
2000V
RMS
(1 second). Their isolated outputs meet all
RS-485/RS-422 specifications. The MAX1480A/B/C are
available in a 28-pin DIP package, and the MAX1490A/B
are available in a 24-pin DIP package.
