Description

MAX1487ESA is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. It is designed with one driver and one receiver. It provides error-free data transmission up to 250kbps, and has a maximum transmission speed of 2.5Mbps for certain models. The transceiver features reduced slew-rate drivers to minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables.
