MAX485 RS-485 transceiver

Half-duplex RS-485 transceiver, 5 V, up to 2.5 Mbit/s. DE high: the driver puts DI differentially on A/B (A = DI, B inverted, about 2.6 V into 54 Ω). /RE low: RO shows the bus state (A − B > +200 mV = 1, < −200 mV = 0). Tie DE and /RE together for one direction pin. Terminate both ends of the bus with 120 Ω.

Simulation model

A behavioural model implements the interface of the chip (registers, protocol, timing) at its pins. The pins are connected to the analog circuit like CMOS pins.
