Buyer & Quality Checklist for Sourcing Alternatives
  • Check bus fail-safe biasing resistors (pull-up on A, pull-down on B): 3PEAK TP485 includes integrated true fail-safe receiver inputs.
  • Verify 120-ohm termination resistor placement at the physical cable ends of the RS-485 differential pair.
  • Check common-mode input voltage range (-7V to +12V) across remote ground potentials.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Q: Can TP485E-SR replace MAX485ESA+ without re-qualifying the PCB layout?

A: Yes. TP485E-SR is an exact 1:1 footprint, electrical, and pinout drop-in for MAX485ESA+ in SOIC-8. Solder pads, pin definitions, voltage levels, and bus drive characteristics match directly, while providing superior ±15kV ESD surge immunity.

Technical details

RS-485 bus transceiver for 5 V industrial links

The MAX489EESD+T is a full-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Analog Devices, packing one driver and one receiver into a 14-SOIC package.

250 kbps data rate and 70 mV hysteresis — what they mean on the bus

Rated for 250 kbps, this transceiver handles the common baud rates for Modbus RTU, Profibus DP at lower speeds, and many proprietary RS-485 sensor networks. Full-duplex operation means the driver and receiver are active simultaneously, so the part can transmit and receive on separate twisted pairs without direction switching. This simplifies the firmware compared to half-duplex parts that need a transmit-enable toggle on every packet.
