Working Principles

The MAX1483EPA+ operates based on the principles of differential signaling. It uses a balanced pair of wires to transmit data, which enhances noise immunity and extends the maximum cable length. The IC incorporates driver and receiver circuits that convert digital signals into differential voltages and vice versa.

When transmitting data, the microcontroller provides non-inverted and inverted signals to the MAX1483EPA+. The driver circuit amplifies these signals and transmits them differentially onto the network. On the receiving end, the receiver circuit detects the differential voltage and converts it back into digital signals for the microcontroller to process.
