MAX3483/MAX3485/
MAX3486/MAX3488/
MAX3490/MAX3491
General Description
3.3V-Powered, 10Mbps and Slew-Rate-Limited
True RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The MAX3483, MAX3485, MAX3486, MAX3488,
MAX3490, and MAX3491 are 3.3V, low-power transceivers for
RS-485 and RS-422 communication. Each part contains
one driver and one receiver. The MAX3483 and MAX3488
feature slew-rate-limited drivers that minimize EMI and
reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated
cables, allowing error-free data transmission at data rates
up to 250kbps. The partially slew-rate-limited MAX3486
transmits up to 2.5Mbps. The MAX3485, MAX3490, and
MAX3491 transmit at up to 10Mbps.
Drivers are short-circuit current-limited and are protected
against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown
circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-imped-
ance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that
guarantees a logic-high output if both inputs are open
circuit.
The MAX3488, MAX3490, and MAX3491 feature full-
duplex communication, while the MAX3483, MAX3485, and
MAX3486 are designed for half-duplex communication.

Note that a “+”,
“#”, or “-” in the package code indicates RoHS status only. Package drawings may show a different suffix character, but the drawing
pertains to the package regardless of RoHS status.
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer board.

the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 300ns, the parts are guaranteed to
have entered shutdown. See
