The MAX487CSA from Maxim Integrated is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. It operates from a single 5V supply and includes one driver and one receiver.
This transceiver supports data transmission rates of up to 2.5Mbps. It draws between 120µA and 500µA of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. For applications requiring minimal power consumption, a low-current shutdown mode is available, reducing consumption to just 0.1µA.
Drivers are protected against short circuits and excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry. The receiver input features a fail-safe mechanism that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open-circuited. The MAX487 features quarter-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 transceivers on the bus.
Key applications include low-power RS-485 and RS-422 transceivers, level translators, transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications, and industrial-control local area networks.
