MAX487EPA Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MAX487EPA by Analog Devices is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. This device integrates one driver and one receiver, supporting half-duplex communication.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum data rate of 2.5Mbps and operation from a single 5V supply. The transceiver draws between 120µA and 500µA of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. It also features a low-current shutdown mode consuming only 0.1µA.

 

Drivers are protected against short-circuit currents and excessive power dissipation through thermal shutdown circuitry. The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that ensures a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The MAX487EPA is suitable for applications requiring EMI-sensitive transceivers and industrial-control local area networks.

 

This component is available in an EPA package and is designed for through-hole mounting.
