Product details

16 Mbps half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver

The Maxim Integrated MAX13486EESA+ is a single-channel half-duplex transceiver for RS-422 and RS-485 networks, delivering 16 Mbps data rate over a single differential pair. It integrates one driver and one receiver in an 8-SOIC package, operating from a 4.75V to 5.25V supply rail. The 25 mV receiver hysteresis provides noise margin on long cable runs typical of industrial and building-automation buses.

5V-only supply — plan the rail

The supply range is 4.75V to 5.25V, so this part runs from a regulated 5V rail, not 3.3V. If your system has only a 3.3V bus, you need a separate 5V supply or a level translator on the logic side. The driver and receiver logic inputs are referenced to VCC; at 5V the input thresholds are TTL-compatible, but a 3.3V microcontroller output may not reliably cross the VIH(min) threshold without a pull-up or level shifter.

Frequently asked questions

Can MAX13486EESA+ replace SN65HVD485E?

Both are 5V half-duplex RS-485 transceivers in 8-SOIC, but the MAX13486EESA+ runs at 16 Mbps versus the SN65HVD485E's lower data rate. Pin compatibility should be verified against the respective datasheets — the function and footprint are similar, but the receiver hysteresis and fail-safe biasing differ. Check the specific revision of the SN65HVD485E before substituting.
