Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated IC TRANSCEIVER HALF 1/1 8SOIC MAX481ESA+

The MAX481ESA+ is a RS-485/RS-422 transceiver IC manufactured by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). It comes in an 8-pin SOIC package and operates with a single 5V supply. The device features low standby current (0.1μA), low static current (300μA), wide common-mode input voltage range, and fast data rates with 30ns propagation delay and 5ns skew. It offers tri-state outputs, full/half-duplex operation, and includes current limiting plus thermal shutdown for protection. Suppliers offer this component as new stock, often with datasheets, pricing, and support for small quantity orders through various online marketplaces like IC37, LCSC, and Alibaba's Molex Marco Polo Network.
