The MAX3087EESA+ is a single RS-422/RS-485 transceiver in an 8-SOIC package.
Full duplex means the driver and receiver operate simultaneously on separate wire pairs, so the bus can transmit and receive at the same time. The 10 Mbps data rate is the maximum; actual throughput depends on cable length, termination, and the number of nodes.
Sourcing and lifecycle — no LTB pressure here
There is no last-time-buy notice, no NRND flag, and no indication of phase-out. The ROHS3 compliance is current.
Package and footprint — 8-SOIC, surface-mount
The MAX3087EESA+ comes in an 8-SOIC package with a 3.90 mm body width (0.154"). It is surface-mount only — no through-hole variant in this suffix. The supplier device package is also 8-SOIC, so the marking on the part matches the footprint.
