The MAX3088CPA+ is a fail-safe, high speed (10Mbps), RS485/RS422 transceiver in 8 pin DIP package. The fail-safe circuitry in this device features a logic high receiver output when receiver inputs are open or shorted, it means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The driver slew rates is not limited, making transmit speed up to 10Mbps. It has a 1/8 unit load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus.
Supply voltage range from 4.75V to 5.25V
Operating temperature range from 0°C to 70°C
Quiescent current is 375μA
Half duplex communication
Low power shutdown mode with 0.001μA supply current
