MaxLinear | SP485ECN-L

EXAR, the market leader, offers the industry's broadest line-up of UART and serial protocol transceivers solutions.

With over 200 devices, wide 2.25 to 5.5V power supply range, 1 to 128 bytes of FIFO and compliance with the universal 3.3/5V PCI, Intel and Motorola bus interfaces, including single protocol ICs that support RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 as well as dual and multi-protocol ICs that support from 2 to 8 of the most popular interface standards with a single IC, Exar has already done the difficult work for you.

We can deliver an immediate competitive advantage to your compressed time-to-market demands accelerating initial design, to functioning prototype and finally volume production.

The SP481E and the SP485E are a family of half-duplex transceivers that meet the specifications of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols with enhanced ESD performance. The ESD tolerance has been improved on these devices to over +15KV for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge Method.

The SP481E and the SP485E are pin-to-pin compatible with Exar's SP481 and SP485 devices as well as popular industry standards. As with the original versions, the SP481E and the SP485E feature Exar's BiCMOS design allowing low power operation without sacrificing performance.

The SP481E and SP485E meet the requirements of the RS-485 and RS-422 protocols up to 10Mbps under load.
