Introduction

The MAX487CUA+ is a single RS-485/RS-422 transceiver that provides high-speed, robust communication in industrial and instrumentation applications. It features fail-safe biasing, which ensures a defined state on the bus in the event of an open, shorted, or terminated line. The transceiver's high common-mode range allows it to operate across large ground potential differences, making it well-suited for use in distributed control systems.
