MAX487EPA

The MAX487EPA is designed as one kind of ±15kV ESD-protected, slew-rate-limited, low-power, RS-485/RS-422 transceiver device that can be used in wide range of applications such as (1)low-power RS-485 transceivers; (2)low-power RS-422 transceivers; (3)Level translators; (4)transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications; (5)industrial-control local area networks. Also this device features reduced slewrate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables.

Features of the MAX487EPA are:(1)Current Limiting and Thermal Shutdown for Driver Overload Protection; (2)Allows up to 128 Transceivers on the Bus; (3)Full-Duplex and Half-Duplex Versions Available; (4)-7V to +12V Common-Mode Input Voltage Range; (5)Three-State Outputs; (6)Low Quiescent Current is 120 A; (7)ESD Protection: ±15kV-Human Body Model; (8)Slew-Rate Limited for Error-Free Data Transmission.

The absolute maximum ratings of the MAX487EPA can be summarized as:(1)Supply Voltage (Vcc): 12 V;(2)Control Input Voltage: -0.5V to (VCC+0.5V);(3)Driver Input Voltage: -0.5V to (VCC+0.5V);(4)Driver Output Voltage: -8V to +12.5V;(5)Receiver Input Voltage: -8V to +12.5V;(6)Receiver Output Voltage: -0.5V to (VCC+0.5V);(7)Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70°C) 8-Pin Plastic DIP (derate 9.09mW/°C above +70°C): 727 mW;(8)Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C;(9)Storage Temperature Range: -65°C to +160°C;(10)Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec): +300°C.
