About this product
The MAX485 is a 5 V half-duplex RS-485 transceiver that converts UART logic signals to a differential bus for long-distance, noise-tolerant serial communication. It connects microcontrollers to industrial sensors, meters and multi-drop networks where several devices share one twisted pair.

How do I switch between transmit and receive?
Use the DE (driver enable) and RE (receiver enable, active low) pins. Often they are tied together and driven by one microcontroller pin: high to transmit, low to receive.
Do I need termination resistors on the bus?
For long cables or high baud rates, a termination resistor, commonly 120 Ω, is placed at each end of the bus. For short runs at low speed it is often not necessary. Confirm the requirement for your cable length and baud rate.
