MAX13487EESA+ SOIC-8 SMD RS Serial Protocol IC

MAX13487EESA+ is a half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 compatible Transceiver with Automatic Direction control. MAX13487E +5V, half-duplex, ±15kV ESD-protected RS-485/RS-422 compatible transceivers feature a driver and a receiver. The MAX13487E features hot swapping to eliminate false transitions on the bus during power-up or live docking. The MAX13487E features Maxim's proprietary AutoDirection control. This architecture makes the devices ideal for applications such as isolated RS-485 ports, where the driver input is used in conjunction with the driver enable signal to drive the differential bus. The MAX13487E features reduced slew rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free transmission at up to 500 kbps. The MAX13487E has a 1/4 unit load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 transceivers on the bus.
