Note 1: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to logic-
side ground (GND_), unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: For DE´ and DI´ pin descriptions, see Detailed Block Diagram and Typical Application Circuit (Figure 1 for MAX1480A/
MAX1480B/MAX1480C, Figure 2 for MAX1490A/MAX1490B).
Note 3: Shutdown supply current is the current at VCC1 and VCC2 when shutdown is enabled.
Note 4: Applies to peak current (see Typical Operating Characteristics). Although the MAX1480A/B/C and MAX1490A/B provide
electrical isolation between logic ground and signal paths, they do not provide isolation between external shields and the
signal paths (see Isolated Common Connection section).

are high impedance, the device functions as a line receiver. Drives internal
