MAX487EESA+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX487EESA+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum data rate that the MAX487EESA+ can support?
  The MAX487EESA+ can support data rates up to 1 Mbps.
• Can the MAX487EESA+ be used in a multi-point application?
  Yes, the MAX487EESA+ can be used in a multi-point application, but it requires an external repeater or hub to connect multiple devices.
• How does the MAX487EESA+ handle common-mode voltage?
  The MAX487EESA+ has a common-mode voltage range of ±15V, which allows it to operate in noisy environments and provides high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• What is the maximum cable length that can be used with the MAX487EESA+?
  The maximum cable length that can be used with the MAX487EESA+ depends on the data rate and cable characteristics, but a general guideline is to limit the cable length to 1000 meters at 9600 bps and 100 meters at 1 Mbps.
• Does the MAX487EESA+ have built-in termination resistors?
  No, the MAX487EESA+ does not have built-in termination resistors. External termination resistors are required to match the impedance of the transmission line.
