The MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E- MAX491E, and MAX1487E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communications in harsh environments. Each driver output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electro-static discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. These parts contain one driver and one receiver. The MAX483E, MAX487E, MAX488E, and MAX489E feature reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. The driver slew rates of the MAX481E, MAX485E, MAX490E, MAX491E, and MAX1487E are not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps.These transceivers draw as little as 120µA supply current when unloaded or when fully loaded with disabled drivers (see Selector Guide). Additionally, the MAX481E, MAX483E, and MAX487E have a low-current shutdown mode in which they consume only 0.5µA. All parts operate from a single +5V supply.Drivers are short-circuit current limited, and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places their outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit.The MAX487E and MAX1487E feature quarter-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 transceivers on the bus. The MAX488E-MAX491E are designed for full-duplex communications, while the MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E, and MAX1487E are designed for half-duplex applications. For applications that are not ESD sensitive see the pinand function-compatible MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487-MAX491, and MAX1487.ApplicationsIndustrial-Control Local Area NetworksLevel TranslatorsLow-Power RS-422 TransceiversLow-Power RS-485 TransceiversTransceivers for EMI-Sensitive Applications

The MAX4864L/MAX4865L/MAX4866L/MAX4867 overvoltage protection controllers protect low-voltage systems against high-voltage faults up to +28V, and negative voltages down to -28V. These devices drive a low-cost complementary MOSFET. If the input voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold, these devices turn off the n-channel MOSFET to prevent damage to the protected components. If the input voltage drops below ground, the devices turn off the p-channel MOSFET to prevent damage to the protected components. An internal charge pump eliminates the need for external capacitors and drives the MOSFET GATEN for a simple, robust solution.The overvoltage thresholds are preset to +7.4V (MAX4864L), +6.35V (MAX4865L), +5.8V (MAX4866L), and +4.65V (MAX4867). When the input voltage drops below the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold, the devices enter a low-current standby mode (8.5µA). Also in shutdown (EN-bar set to logic-high), the current is reduced further (0.4µA). The MAX4864L/MAX4865L/MAX4866L have a +2.85V UVLO threshold, and the MAX4867 has a +2.5V UVLO threshold.In addition, a ±15kV ESD protection is provided to the input when bypassed with a 1µF capacitor to ground. All devices are offered in a small 6-pin SOT23 and a 6-pin, 2mm x 2mm µDFN package, and are specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.ApplicationsCell PhonesDigital Still CamerasMP3 PlayersPDAs and Palmtop Devices

The MAX4885AE integrates high-bandwidth analog switches, level-translating buffers, and level-translating FET switches to implement a complete 2:1 multiplexer for VGA signals. The device provides three very high-frequency 900MHz (typ) SPDT switches for RGB signals, two low-frequency clamping switches for the DDC signals, a pair of level-translating buffers for the H and V signals and integrated extended ESD protection.Horizontal and vertical synchronization (H_/V_) inputs feature level-shifting buffers to support low-voltage controllers and standard 5V-TTL-compatible monitors, meeting the VESA requirement. Display Data Channel (DDC), consisting of SDA_ and SCL_, are FET switches that protect the low-voltage VGA source from potential damage from high-voltage presence on the monitor while reducing capacitive load.All seven output terminals of the MAX4885AE feature high-ESD protection to ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM) (see thePin Descriptionin the full data sheet). All other pins are protected to ±2kV Human Body Model (HBM).The MAX4885AE is specified over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range, and is available in a space-saving, 28-pin, 4mm × 4mm TQFN package.ApplicationsKVM for ServersNotebook Computers—MXM/Switchable Graphics
