Analog Devices ADM3483/ADM3485/ADM3488/ADM3490/ADM3491 Handbook
The ADM3483/ADM3485/ADM3488/ADM3490/ADM3491 family are low‑power, differential line transceivers that operate from a single 3.3 V supply. Half‑duplex parts (ADM3483, ADM3488) support up to 250 kbps, while full‑duplex parts (ADM3485, ADM3490, ADM3491) support up to 10 Mbps. They are intended for low‑power RS‑485/RS‑422 applications such as telecom, industrial process control, and HVAC.
The handbook lists electrical characteristics, timing specifications, pin‑out diagrams, and absolute maximum ratings. Key features include shutdown mode with 2 nA current, up to 32 transceivers on a bus, and packages in 8‑lead or 14‑lead SOIC.
