MaxLinear | SP487CT-L

With over 200 devices, wide 2.25 to 5.5V power supply range, 1 to 128 bytes of FIFO and compliance with the universal 3.3/5V PCI, Intel and Motorola bus interfaces, including single protocol ICs that support RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 as well as dual and multi-protocol ICs that support from 2 to 8 of the most popular interface standards with a single IC, Exar has already done the difficult work for you.

We can deliver an immediate competitive advantage to your compressed time-to-market demands accelerating initial design, to functioning prototype and finally volume production.

The SP486 and SP487 are low–power quad differential line drivers meeting RS-485 and RS-422 standards.

The SP486 features a common driver enable control; the SP487 provides independent

driver enable controls for each pair of drivers. Both feature tri–state outputs and wide

common–mode input range. Both are available in 16–pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages.
