MAX3490EESA in Stock at ICGOODFIND: The Robust RS-485/RS-422 Solution for Demanding Applications
Engineers and procurement specialists seeking a reliable and high-performance interface solution can now source the MAX3490EESA transceiver immediately. This versatile integrated circuit is a cornerstone for building robust serial communication networks, specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of RS-485 and RS-422 protocols. Its availability at ICGOODFIND ensures that project timelines can be met without compromise.
The MAX3490EESA stands out in the crowded field of interface ICs due to its exceptional combination of features. It is engineered for full-duplex data communication, allowing for simultaneous transmission and reception of data, which is critical for real-time interactive systems. A key advantage of this transceiver is its robust ±15kV ESD protection on the bus pins. This high level of electrostatic discharge protection drastically improves system reliability and longevity in harsh industrial environments, where electrical noise and transient spikes are common.
Furthermore, the device features a low-power shutdown mode, which is essential for modern, power-sensitive applications. In this mode, the driver outputs are placed in a high-impedance state, reducing the current consumption to a minimal level and enabling power-efficient operation in battery-powered or energy-conscious devices. The MAX3490EESA also supports up to 256 transceivers on the bus, making it an ideal choice for creating extensive multi-point networks for industrial automation, building control, and telecommunications infrastructure.
Its wide supply voltage range from +3V to +5.5V ensures compatibility with a broad spectrum of logic levels, providing design flexibility. Whether the application is a complex Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system, a point-of-sale terminal, or a building security network, the MAX3490EESA delivers the performance and resilience required.
ICGOODFIND provides a seamless sourcing experience for this critical component, ensuring that your designs move from prototype to production without delay. Their reliable inventory and efficient service make them a go-to partner for essential electronic parts.
