MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX487CSA RS-485 transceiver

The MAX487CSA+ is a low-power, slew-rate-limited transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication applications. Each device includes one driver and one receiver, with features that reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal reflections by limiting the driver slew rate. This enables reliable data transmission at speeds up to 250 kbps. The transceiver consumes between 120 and 500 microamps of current when idle or fully loaded with disabled drivers, and it includes a low-current shutdown mode that draws only 0.1 microamps. All units operate on a single 5V power supply. Drivers are protected against short circuits by current limiting and thermal shutdown, which places the outputs in a high-impedance state if necessary. The receiver input features a fail-safe design that outputs a logic-high signal when the input is open. The MAX487CSA+ is optimized for half-duplex communication systems.
