MAX13487EESA+T: The Robust RS-485 Transceiver Ready for Immediate Deployment

In the world of industrial automation, building control systems, and long-distance data communication, reliability is paramount. The MAX13487EESA+T stands out as a premier half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver designed to deliver exceptional performance in electrically harsh environments. For engineers and procurement specialists facing tight deadlines, the news that this critical component is in stock at ICGOODFIND is a significant advantage, eliminating potential production bottlenecks.

This transceiver is engineered for resilience. A key feature is its robust immunity to electrostatic discharges (ESD), boasting protection levels of ±16kV (Human Body Model) on the bus pins. This ensures the device can withstand the common transient threats found in industrial settings, leading to a more stable and durable end-product. Furthermore, the MAX13487EESA+T incorporates fail-safe receiver circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high output if the inputs are open or shorted. This eliminates data errors and system lock-ups, providing a predictable state during network faults.

The device operates from a single +3.3V power supply, making it an ideal choice for modern, power-conscious designs. Despite its low voltage operation, it supports true fail-safe functionality, ensuring the receiver output is valid even when the bus is idle. With a data rate capable of reaching 250kbps and the ability to connect up to 32 transceivers on the bus, it offers a perfect balance of speed and network capacity for many applications. Its reduced slew-rate design also minimizes EMI and reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, simplifying system design.

For projects requiring immediate progress, the availability of genuine components is a primary concern. Sourcing from a reliable distributor is crucial to avoid the risks of counterfeit parts. The confirmed stock of the MAX13487EESA+T at a trusted supplier ensures that your design and production timelines remain on track.

ICGOODFIND provides a streamlined and reliable component sourcing solution, ensuring engineers have immediate access to essential parts like the MAX13487EESA+T to maintain project momentum and ensure final product quality.
