MAX485 TTL to RS-485 Converter Module

The MAX485 TTL to RS-485 Interface Module allows microcontrollers (MCUs) to utilize robust long-distance serial communications using RS-485 differential signaling.

Features:

• MAX485 Interface chip: This module employs the MAX485 chip for efficient communication.
• Differential signaling: It uses differential signaling for noise immunity, making it suitable for electrically noisy environments.
• Distance: Supports distances of up to 1200 meters (approximately 4000 feet).
• Data rates: Speeds of up to 2.5 Mbit/sec can be achieved.
• Multi-drop support: Allows connection of up to 32 devices on the same bus.
• Red power LED: Provides visual indication of power status.
• 5V operation: Operates at 5V.
• Compact size: Board dimensions are approximately 44mm x 14mm.

The MAX485 module acts as a bridge between TTL-level serial signals from the microcontroller and the differential signaling used by RS-485. It’s an excellent choice for industrial applications and long-distance communication needs.
