The Microchip MAX485 is an 8-pin dual transceiver IC with RS-485/RS-422 communications. This device is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant in a DIP (Dual In-line Package) package, and is manufactured by HTC Korea. The MAX485EN is suitable for multipoint data transmission in noisy environments due to its ability to provide high-speed differential data transmission up to 1Mbps. The device has integrated protection for high ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference), allowing it to be safely used in harsher industrial environments. It also supports up to 32 receivers, making it suitable for large scale (multipoint) applications. The MAX485EN features an adjustable slew rate control, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is ideal for drones, motors and other sensors which require long-distance communication in extreme conditions.
