The MaxLinear SP485ECN-LTR is a 10 Mbps 5 V enhanced low EMI half duplex RS-485 transceiver. It is part of the SP485E series. It has a Lead Free, RoHS 6 compliant NSOIC8 package, and is designed for industrial and commercial applications. The device supports two-node RS-485 communication over long distances, with its +/- 4 KV ESD differentials. It also has an advanced EMI optimization circuit to reduce noise. Additionally, the device has low power consumption due to its low quiescent current and operate temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. The device is also designed with failsafe receiver outputs that are kept low when inputs are open or shorted, providing improved protection against open wire and short circuit conditions.
