MAX485ESA+

Analog Devices

MAX485ESA+ is an Analog Devices (Maxim) low-power half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver in 8-pin SOIC — for industrial fieldbus: Modbus nodes, DMX lighting and building automation. 2.5 Mbps over twisted pair with multidrop networking is the selection point: the de facto standard for noisy industrial buses. Selection advice: the ESA+ denotes 8-pin SOIC — for new designs, consider slew-rate-limited or auto-direction variants to simplify firmware; terminate the bus at both ends and bias idle lines per RS-485 practice. 5 V supply, -40 to +85 °C. Parameters verified against the ADI official product page. State quantity, packing and date-code requirements in your RFQ; we reconfirm the offered lot before quotation and reply within 24 hours.

SELECTION GUIDANCE

MAX485ESA+ selection guidance

MAX485ESA+ is a RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Analog Devices, orderable in the SOIC-8 package. The ordering code fixes the exact configuration you receive — package, grade and packing — so procurement starts with matching this code character-for-character against your BOM, not just the base series name.

When you request a quote, include the full ordering code, the target packing format (reel, tube, tray or cut tape), your quantity and any date-code or lot requirements. We reconfirm manufacturer, suffix, package, date code and traceability against the actual offered lot before any commercial quote is issued, and every RFQ gets a reply within 24 hours.

COMMON QUESTIONS

MAX485ESA+ FAQ

What do the suffixes in MAX485ESA+ mean?

Every suffix in a manufacturer ordering code identifies one exact orderable device — package, temperature grade, packing format or a revision. MAX485ESA+ names the SOIC-8 configuration; a code that differs by even one suffix character may be a different device. Always quote the complete code exactly as it appears on your BOM.

What is the difference between package and packing for MAX485ESA+?

The package (SOIC-8) is the physical form of the device itself. Packing describes how the devices are delivered — reel, tube, tray or cut tape. The same ordering code can ship in different packing formats depending on the lot, so confirm the required packing format when you submit your RFQ.

Can you provide traceability documents for MAX485ESA+?

Traceability evidence — lot and date-code information, labels and photos — is confirmed per lot at quotation time, because it depends on the actual lot offered. Tell us which documents your receiving inspection requires when you submit the RFQ, and we will confirm what can be provided for the offered lot.

How do I request a quotation for MAX485ESA+?

Add MAX485ESA+ to your RFQ with the complete ordering code, the manufacturer (Analog Devices), your quantity, the target packing format and any date-code requirements. We reply to every RFQ within 24 hours.
