General Description
The MAX3280E/MAX3281E/MAX3283E/MAX3284E are single receivers designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. These devices guarantee data rates up to 52Mbps, even with a 3V power supply. Excellent propagation delay (15ns max) and package-to-package skew time (8ns max) make these devices ideal for multidrop clock distribution applications.
