MAX487EEPA+ Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX487EEPA+ is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication in demanding environments. It features a single driver and receiver, protected against ±15kV ESD shocks without latchup. This device operates from a single +5V supply and draws minimal current, as low as 120µA when unloaded.

 

With a data rate of up to 250kbps, the MAX487EEPA+ is suitable for applications requiring reliable data transmission. It includes driver short-circuit current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The receiver input features a fail-safe mechanism that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open.

 

This transceiver is available in an 8-PDIP package and supports through-hole mounting. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial control and other harsh environment applications. The MAX487EEPA+ is designed for half-duplex communication.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and receiver hysteresis of 70mV. The device also supports up to 128 transceivers on the bus due to its quarter-unit-load receiver input impedance.
