MaxLinear, Inc. Interface - Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers SP487ES-L

The SP487ES-L is a quad differential line driver designed for RS-485 and RS-422 applications. It features independent driver enable controls for each pair of drivers, allowing for flexible operation in various configurations. The device operates with a single +5V supply and has a low supply current of 100¬µA, making it suitable for low-power applications. With a typical driver propagation delay of 40ns and a skew of 5ns, the SP487ES-L supports data rates up to 10 Mbps. It has a common mode output range of -7V to +12V, which enhances its versatility in different signaling environments. The device is pin compatible with several other industry-standard drivers, facilitating easy integration into existing designs. The SP487ES-L is housed in a 16-pin SOIC package and is rated for operation in temperatures ranging from 0¬8C to 70¬8C. Its robust electrical characteristics and compatibility with various systems make it a reliable choice for engineers looking to implement RS-485 or RS-422 communication in their projects.
