1. MAX487CSA+ Substitution Conclusion
Direct substitution is not feasible. The primary technical limitation of the MAX487CSA+ is its significantly lower data rate (250 kbps) compared to the original part's 20 Mbps, rendering it unsuitable for any application requiring high-speed communication. While its receiver hysteresis (70 mV) matches the original specification, providing comparable noise immunity, its narrower supply voltage range (4.75V to 5.25V) imposes stricter requirements on power supply stability. The MAX487CSA+ is only suitable as a functional replacement in low-speed applications where the communication rate requirement does not exceed 250 kbps and where power supply precision is guaranteed.
2. LT1785AIS8TRPBF Substitution Conclusion
Direct substitution is not recommended. The LT1785AIS8TRPBF exhibits two significant shortcomings in key performance parameters. First, its data rate (250 kbps) is drastically lower than the original part's 20 Mbps, making it completely incapable of meeting high-speed transmission requirements. Second, its receiver hysteresis (20 mV) is substantially lower than the original's 70 mV. This results in a significantly reduced noise margin for the receiver input, severely degrading its noise immunity. In applications with electrically noisy environments, this increases the risk of false triggering and compromises communication reliability. This device may only be considered as an alternative in low-speed, electrically clean applications, but a thorough assessment of noise interference risk is essential.
