What the MAX13087EESA+ is and where it fits
The MAX13087EESA+ is a single-channel, full-duplex transceiver from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated). It handles one driver and one receiver in an 8-pin SOIC package, with a 16 Mbps data rate.
Key ratings and what they mean for the BOM
The 16 Mbps data rate supports Profibus DP and Modbus RTU without bit-rate limiting. At this speed, cable length is typically limited to a few hundred meters.
Temperature grade and deployment environment
Rated for -40°C to +85°C, the MAX13087EESA+ covers industrial control cabinets, outdoor telecom shelters, and HVAC equipment. It is not qualified to AEC-Q100, so it is not the choice for under-hood automotive or powertrain applications, but it is a solid fit for factory-floor PLC I/O modules, motor drive communication ports, and building management gateways.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX13087EESA+ is listed as Active on the manufacturer's lifecycle status, with no NRND or EOL flags. It is ROHS3 compliant (lead-free), which clears EU and RoHS-regulated markets without an exemption.
