Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX304x 5V Quad RS-485/RS-422 Transmitters

Analog Devices Inc. MAX304x 5V Quad RS-485/RS-422 Transmitters are designed for digital data transmission over twisted-pair balanced lines. All transmitter outputs are protected to ±10kV using the Human Body Model. In addition, the MAX304x withstands ±4kV per IEC 1000-4-4 Electrical Fast Transient/Burst Stressing. The MAX3040/MAX3043 (250kbps) and the MAX3041/MAX3044 (2.5Mbps) are slew-rate limited transmitters that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free transmission. 

These devices features a hot-swap capability that eliminates false transitions on the data cable during power-up or hot insertion. The MAX3042B/MAX3045B are optimized for data transfer rates up to 20Mbps, the MAX3041/MAX3044 for data rates up to 2.5Mbps, and the MAX3040/MAX3043 for data rates up to 250kbps.
