Typical Applications
The MAX3140 is designed for bidirectional data com-
munications on multipoint bus transmission lines. The
RS-485 transceiver can be used in any RS-485 applica-
tion due to its numerous features and its programmabili-
ty. A typical half-duplex circuit for the MAX3140 is
shown in Figure 24, and a corresponding half-duplex
network is shown in Figure 25. A typical full-duplex cir-
cuit for the MAX3140 is shown in Figure 26, and a corre-
sponding full-duplex network is shown in Figure 27.
Since the MAX3140’s internal UART has IrDA capability,
a standard IR transceiver (e.g., the MAX3120) can be
used to provide IrDA communication (Figure 28).
