________________General Description
The MAX3291/MAX3292 high-speed RS-485/RS-422
transceivers feature driver preemphasis circuitry, which
extends the distance and increases the data rate of reli-
able communication by reducing intersymbol interfer-
ence (ISI) caused by long cables. The MAX3291 is
programmable for data rates of 5Mbps to 10Mbps,
while the MAX3292 is programmable for data rates up
to 10Mbps by using a single external resistor.
The MAX3291/MAX3292 are full-duplex devices that
operate from a single +5V supply and offer a low-cur-
rent shutdown mode that reduces supply current to
100nA. They feature driver output short-circuit current
limiting and a fail-safe receiver input that guarantees a
logic-high output if the input is open circuit. A 1/4-unit-
load receiver input impedance allows up to 128 trans-
ceivers on the bus.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
