The SP483E is a half-duplex transceiver that meets the specifications of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols with enhanced ESD performance. The ESD tolerance has been improved on this device to over ±15kV for both Human Body Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge Method. This device is pin-to-pin compatible with MaxLinear's SP483 device as well as popular industry standards. As with the original version, the SP483E features MaxLinear's BiCMOS design allowing low power operation without sacrificing performance. The SP483E meet the requirements of the RS-485 and RS-422 protocols up to 250kbps under load. The SP483E is internally slew rate limited to reduce EMI and can meet the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422 up to 250kbps. The SP483E is also equipped with a low power Shutdown mode.

07/17/2023 | In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023. | PCN & PDN Download |

For RS-232 it is 50 feet (15 meters), or the cable length equal to a capacitance of 2500 pF, at a maximum transmission rate of 19.2kbps. When we reduce the baud rate, it allows for longer cable length. For Example:
Baud Rate (bps) | Maximum RS-232 Cable Length (ft) |
19200 | 50 |
9600 | 500 |
4800 | 1000 |
2400 | 3000 |
Fail Safe is an attempt to keep the output of the RS-485 receiver to a known state. Transceivers may have standard fail safe or advanced / enhanced receiver fail safe features. Standard fail safe supports open inputs while enhanced fail safe transceivers such as the SP339 and XR34350 support open input, shorted input and undriven terminated lines without external biasing. See Application Note ANI-22 for more detail.
