RS422/RS485 full-duplex transceiver in a 24-pin DIP
The MAX1490BEPG+ is a single-channel full-duplex transceiver supporting both RS422 and RS485 protocols at 250 kbps — the data rate ceiling for a 24-pin DIP part that still sees use in retrofit and low-speed industrial links.
Housed in a 24-DIP (0.600-inch, 15.24 mm) through-hole package, the MAX1490BEPG+ mounts directly into a standard 24-pin DIP socket or solders into a plated-through-hole PCB — the 0.100-inch pitch matches legacy backplane and industrial controller layouts. The supplier device package is 24-PDIP, and the part ships in tube packaging.
It is ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the EU RoHS directive without exemption issues.
