Working Principles

The MAX3491EESD+TG52 is a signal conditioning IC that facilitates communication between devices using the RS-485/RS-422 protocols. It consists of a driver and a receiver section. The driver section converts the logic-level signals into differential voltage signals suitable for long-distance transmission. The receiver section converts the received differential signals back into logic-level signals.

The DE and RE pins control the enable/disable state of the driver and receiver sections, respectively. When enabled, the driver section actively drives the bus lines, while the receiver section monitors the bus for incoming signals. When disabled, the driver section goes into a high-impedance state, allowing other devices on the bus to transmit data.
