General Description
The MAX13485E/MAX13486E +5V, half-duplex, ±15kV
ESD-protected RS-485 transceivers feature one driver
and one receiver. These devices include fail-safe circuitry,
guaranteeing a logic-high receiver output when receiver
inputs are open or shorted. The receiver outputs a logichigh if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled
(high impedance). The MAX13485E/MAX13486E include
a hot-swap capability to eliminate false transitions on the
bus during power-up or live-insertion.
The MAX13485E features reduced slew-rate drivers
that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free transmission up to 500kbps. The MAX13486E driver slew
rate is not limited, allowing transmit speeds up to
16Mbps.
The MAX13485E/MAX13486E feature a 1/4-unit load
receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 transceivers
on the bus. These devices are intended for half-duplex
communications. All driver outputs are protected to ±15kV
ESD using the Human Body Model. The MAX13485E/
MAX13486E are available in 8-pin SO and space-saving
8-pin µDFN packages. The devices operate over the
extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
