The recommended layout and routing for the MAX1480ECEPI+ involves keeping the input and output traces as short as possible, using a solid ground plane, and avoiding vias under the device. Additionally, the input and output capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible.
To ensure the MAX1480ECEPI+ is properly powered, connect the VCC pin to a stable 5V power supply, and decouple the power supply with a 0.1uF capacitor. Also, ensure that the power supply can provide enough current to support the device's operating current.
The maximum operating frequency of the MAX1480ECEPI+ is 100 kHz. However, the device can operate at higher frequencies with reduced performance.
To configure the MAX1480ECEPI+ for half-duplex operation, connect the RTS pin to the CTS pin. For full-duplex operation, connect the RTS pin to VCC and the CTS pin to GND.
The maximum cable length supported by the MAX1480ECEPI+ is 100 meters (328 feet) for a Category 5e cable, assuming a data rate of 100 kbps.
