Working Principles

The MAX249EQH+TD is designed to provide isolated communication between devices using the RS-485/RS-422 protocol. It utilizes galvanic isolation techniques to protect against noise, ground loops, and voltage spikes. The driver section converts the logic-level signals into differential voltages suitable for long-distance transmission. The receiver section converts the received differential signals back into logic-level signals. The integrated isolation barrier ensures that the driver and receiver sections are electrically isolated, preventing any potential damage or interference.
