5 V, ±15 kV ESD Protected, Half Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver (250 kbps, ¼ Load)

Analog Devices ADM487E Product Info

10 February 2026 6

Features

  • TIA/EIA RS-485/RS-422 compliant
  • ESD protection on RS-485 I/O pins
  • ±15 kV human body model
  • Data rates: 250 kbps
  • Half-duplex options
  • Reduced slew rates for low EMI
  • −7 V to +12 V common-mode input range
  • Thermal shutdown and short-circuit protection
  • 8-lead SOIC packages

The ADM485E / ADM487E / ADM1487E are 5 V low power data transceivers with ±15 kV ESD protection suitable for halfduplex communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. They are designed for balanced data transmission and comply with TIA/EIA standards RS-485 and RS-422. The ADM487E and the ADM1487E have a 1/4 unit load receiver input impedance that allows up to 128 transceivers on a bus, while the ADM485E allow up to 32 transceivers on a bus. Since only one driver is enabled at any time, the output of a disabled or powerdown driver is three-stated to avoid overloading the bus.

The driver outputs are slew rate-limited in order to reduce EMI and data errors caused by reflections from improperly terminated buses. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or output shorting is prevented with a thermal shutdown circuit. The parts are fully specified over the industrial temperature ranges and are available in 8-lead SOIC packages.

APPLICATIONS

  • Energy/power metering
  • Lighting systems
  • Industrial control
  • Telecommuni
