MAX487ECSA datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX487ECSA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum data rate that the MAX487ECSA can support?
  The MAX487ECSA can support data rates up to 1Mbps, making it suitable for most industrial and commercial applications.
• How does the MAX487ECSA handle common-mode voltage?
  The MAX487ECSA can handle common-mode voltage up to ±15V, making it suitable for applications where the signal lines are exposed to noise or voltage fluctuations.
• What is the purpose of the enable pin (EN) on the MAX487ECSA?
  The enable pin (EN) is used to put the device in a low-power shutdown mode when driven low, reducing power consumption and heat generation.
• Can the MAX487ECSA be used in a multi-point application?
  Yes, the MAX487ECSA can be used in a multi-point application, but it requires an external circuit to ensure that only one transmitter is active at a time to prevent data collisions.
• How does the MAX487ECSA protect against ESD and EFT?
  The MAX487ECSA has built-in protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical fast transients (EFT), with a human-body model (HBM) rating of ±15kV and an IEC 61000-4-2 rating of ±8kV.
