Receiver hysteresis and noise margin
The 70 mV receiver hysteresis is a practical feature on long cable runs or in electrically noisy environments. It prevents the receiver from chattering on slow edges or when the bus is idle and unterminated. For a retrofit into an existing plant-floor network with unknown cable quality, this hysteresis buys you margin without adding external filtering.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX490CSA+T carries an Active lifecycle status with ROHS3 compliance.
