Working Principles

The MAX485ECSA+G002 is a transceiver that converts the TTL/CMOS logic levels of a microcontroller or other digital device into RS-485/RS-422 compatible differential signals. It allows bidirectional communication over long distances by converting the single-ended signals into balanced differential signals.

The driver section of the transceiver amplifies the TTL/CMOS signals and converts them into differential outputs, while the receiver section converts the incoming differential signals back into TTL/CMOS levels. The DE (Driver Enable) and /RE (Receiver Enable) pins control the direction of communication.
