Device identity and production status
The MAX1487CUA is an RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Maxim Integrated, designed for balanced-data transmission on multi-point bus lines.
Compliance and packaging note
It is supplied in bulk packaging, so the units arrive loose in a single bag or tube rather than on tape-and-reel; plan for manual handling or tube-fed placement if the pick-and-place line expects reeled parts.
