RS-485 bus transceiver for 5V industrial links
The Maxim Integrated MAX1487ECSA+ is a half-duplex transceiver with a single driver and single receiver, rated for signaling up to 2.5 Mbps. It operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and includes 70 mV of receiver hysteresis. The part is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package and specified over 0°C to 70°C.
What the 2.5 Mbps data rate and 70 mV hysteresis mean for your bus
At 2.5 Mbps, the receiver hysteresis of 70 mV provides a clean logic threshold on a differential bus that may see common-mode shifts or reflections.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX1487ECSA+ carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant. It remains a current-production part with no last-time-buy notice.
