Product details

The MAX489CSD+ is a single-channel, full-duplex RS-422/RS-485 transceiver from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated). The supply range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V, so it runs on a 5 V nominal rail—not 3.3 V.

Data rate of 250 kbps is the practical ceiling for this transceiver. At that speed, the rise/fall times are slew-limited, which keeps radiated emissions low—useful for passing FCC/CE without extra filtering. If your bus runs at 115.2 kbps or below, this part has comfortable margin. In a typical RS-485 network with 100 m of twisted pair, that hysteresis prevents chatter from ground shifts and reflections. Supply voltage is strictly 5 V ±5%. Do not try 3.3 V—the part is not specified there. Verify your rail is within 4.75 V to 5.25 V, especially if the board has a 5 V LDO with dropout headroom issues. Not rated for -40°C or +85°C, so skip it for outdoor telecom or under-hood automotive.

It remains a standard catalog item through Analog Devices' distribution network.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX489CSD+ compatible with 5V supply?

Yes, it is designed for a 5 V supply rail, with a specified range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V. It is not a 3.3 V part.

What is the replacement for MAX489CSD+?

No official replacement or successor is recorded for the MAX489CSD+. The part remains active. A common alternative in the same function class is the SN75176B, but it is half-duplex and may not be a direct pin-compatible swap. Verify your design's duplex requirement before substituting.
