SP3485EN-L/TR in Stock at ICGOODFIND: A Robust RS-485 Transceiver Solution

The SP3485EN-L/TR is a widely recognized, low-power half-duplex transceiver that fully complies with RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocol standards. For engineers and procurement specialists seeking a reliable component for robust data transmission, this IC is a prime candidate. Its availability at ICGOODFIND ensures a swift and dependable supply chain for ongoing production cycles and new project developments.

This transceiver is engineered for high performance in demanding industrial environments. A key feature is its robust ±12kV ESD protection on the bus pins, which significantly enhances system durability and resilience against electrostatic discharge events commonly encountered during installation and operation. This makes the SP3485EN-L/TR exceptionally suitable for industrial automation, building control systems, and other applications where electrical noise and transient voltages are a constant challenge.

Furthermore, the device operates from a single +3.3V power supply, drawing a supply current of no more than 1.7 mA when unloaded. This low-power consumption is critical for power-sensitive applications and helps in designing more energy-efficient systems without compromising on communication integrity. The SP3485EN-L/TR supports data rates of up to 10Mbps, ensuring fast and efficient data transfer over long distances. Its driver (output) is designed to maintain signal quality even when driving heavily loaded buses, featuring a controlled slew rate to minimize EMI and reduce reflections, which simplifies network design and improves signal integrity.

The combination of its half-duplex configuration, low power usage, and high noise immunity makes it an ideal choice for multi-point bus transmission lines. Whether it's for a factory floor network, a security system, or a telecommunications setup, this transceiver provides the necessary performance and reliability.

ICGOODFIND stands out as a trusted supplier for such critical components, offering verified, in-stock parts like the SP3485EN-L/TR. Their service streamlines the sourcing process, providing engineers with the confidence that they are acquiring genuine components promptly, thereby accelerating time-to-market for innovative products.
