MAX490CPA

The MAX490CPA is a proven RS-422/RS-485 transceiver ideal for point-to-point and multipoint serial links. It supports a 2.5 Mbps data rate and operates from a 4.75–5.25 V supply while providing 70 mV receiver hysteresis for robust noise immunity on long runs. Packaged in an 8-pin DIP, it is well suited for through-hole designs and legacy systems where rugged serial comms are required. The device integrates the driver and receiver, simplifies board layout, and reduces component count for reliable serial interfaces in industrial and instrumentation applications. Typical uses include PLCs, controllers, and data-collection equipment where both RS-422 and RS-485 transceivers are needed. For engineers needing a straightforward, dependable transceiver in a DIP footprint, the MAX490CPA delivers solid performance and easy integration.
