MaxLinear, Inc. Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers XR5488EID-F

The XR5488EID-F is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed for reliable bidirectional communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It operates from a single 5.0V power supply and supports high-speed data rates of up to 52 Mbps. The device features advanced fail-safe receiver inputs that default to a logic high output state when inputs are un-driven or shorted, ensuring robust communication in various conditions. This transceiver is ruggedized for harsh environments, with a common mode voltage range from -7V to +12V and is rated for industrial operating temperatures between -40¬8C and +85¬8C. It includes significant ESD protection, rated at +/-15kV for air-gap discharge and +/-8kV for contact discharge, making it suitable for applications where electrical noise and surges are a concern. The XR5488EID-F has a low power shutdown mode, drawing only 1OºA when disabled, and allows for the connection of up to 256 transceivers on a single bus due to its 1/8th unit load characteristic. Typical applications include motor control, building automation, security systems, and remote utility meter reading.
