MAX481/MAX483/MAX485
MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487
Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited
RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
NOTES FOR ELECTRICAL/SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device
ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 2:
All typical specifications are given for V
CC
= 5V and T
A
= +25°C.
Note 3:
Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V.
Note 4:
Applies to peak current. See
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 5:
The MAX481/MAX483/MAX487 are put into shutdown by bringing
RE
high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less
than 50ns, the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 600ns, the parts are
guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See
Low-Power Shutdown Mode (MAX481/MAX483/MAX487)
section.
