The MAX491EESD+T is a low-power, quad RS-485/RS-422 receiver from Maxim Integrated. It is designed for communication applications and operates over extended temperature ranges.
Pin Count: The MAX491EESD+T comes in a 16-pin SOIC package.
Key Functions:
1. Receiver Inputs (A, B): These differential inputs receive the RS-485/RS-422 signals. Each receiver has an A (non-inverting) and B (inverting) input.
2. Receiver Outputs (RO): Each receiver has a single-ended output (RO) that provides the received data signal.
3. Enable Pins (RE, DE):
- RE (Receiver Enable): Active-low input. When low, it enables the receiver outputs.
- DE (Driver Enable): Active-high input. Though primarily for transceivers, this pin on the MAX491 is typically not used as it is a receiver-only part.
4. VCC and GND: These pins provide the power supply and ground reference for the device.
5. Other Pins: Additional pins can include NC (No Connect) or internally connected pins.
The MAX491EESD+T is optimized for low power consumption, ideal for portable and energy-efficient applications.
