Maxim Integrated MAX14948EWE+ Line Transceiver, 16-Pin SOIC

The MAX14948 isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceiver provides 2750VRMS (60s) of galvanic isolation between the cable side (RS-485/RS-422 driver/receiver side) and the UART side of the device. Isolation improves communication by breaking ground loops and reduces noise when there are large differences in ground potential between ports. Signals are passed across the isolation barrier through integrated high-voltage capacitors. This device allows for robust communication at any speed up to 500kbps. The device includes one half-duplex drive/receive channel.
