Overview
Description
The MAX1487EPA+ is a RS-485/RS-422 transceiver from Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). It features half-duplex communication, supporting data rates up to 2.5Mbps.
### Key Features:
- ±15kV ESD protection (on driver/receiver pins)
- Low-power shutdown mode (1µA typical)
- Wide supply range (4.75V to 5.25V)
- Thermal shutdown protection
- Driver/receiver enable control
### Applications:
- Industrial networks
- Point-of-sale systems
- Building automation
### Package:
- 8-pin PDIP (EPA) for easy prototyping
The MAX1487EPA+ is robust, reliable, and ideal for noise-prone environments requiring long-distance serial communication.
