This GLib version 2.16.1. GLib is the low-level core
library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It
provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and
interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads,
dynamic loading, and an object system.
The MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E–MAX491E,
and MAX1487E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and
RS-422 communications in harsh environments. Each driver
output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV electrostatic
discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. These parts
contain one driver and one receiver. The MAX483E,
MAX487E, MAX488E, and MAX489E feature reduced slewrate
drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused
by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free
data transmission up to 250kbps. The driver slew rates of the
MAX481E, MAX485E, MAX490E, MAX491E, and MAX1487E
are not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps.
It has been suggested1 that an appropriate figure of merit for a low probability of intercept and
detection (LPI/D) waveform is the quantity “Range x Bandwidth / Joule”. That is, the further the
range, the wider the bandwidth and the less amount of energy used to achieve these values, the
more covert is the resultant communications system.
