MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX487ECSA RS-485 Transceiver

The MAX487ECSA+ is a low-power transceiver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 communication in challenging environments. Each device contains one driver and one receiver, with internal protection against ±15kV electro-static discharge (ESD) shocks without latch-up. The transceiver features reduced slew-rate drivers to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reflections on improperly terminated cables, enabling error-free data transmission at speeds up to 250 kbps. It consumes as little as 120 µA of supply current when idle or with drivers disabled and includes a low-current shutdown mode that reduces power consumption to just 0.5 µA. Operating from a single +5V supply, the drivers are short-circuit limited and protected by thermal shutdown circuitry that sets outputs to high impedance during thermal overload. The MAX487ECSA+ is specifically designed for half-duplex communication applications and is well suited for industrial control, local area networks, level translators, and EMI-sensitive environments.
