MAX487ECPA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX487ECPA from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication protocols. It is suitable for harsh environments, with driver outputs and receiver inputs protected against ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks without latchup. This device features one driver and one receiver, operating in half-duplex mode.

 

Key electrical specifications include a data rate of up to 250kbps, a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V, and a receiver hysteresis of 70mV. The transceiver draws a low supply current of 120µA when unloaded. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C.

 

The MAX487ECPA is available in an 8-PDIP package and utilizes through-hole mounting. The device includes short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown protection for its drivers. The receiver input features a fail-safe mechanism that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open-circuited.
