1. LT1785AIS8TRPBF Substitution Conclusion
The LT1785AIS8TRPBF matches the original MAX487CSA+ in data rate (250 kbps), supply voltage (4.75 V to 5.25 V), and package (8-SOIC), making it a pin-compatible drop-in replacement. However, its receiver hysteresis is only 20 mV, significantly lower than the original’s 70 mV. This reduces its noise immunity, increasing the risk of signal errors in noisy environments—particularly in industrial or long-line communication applications. If the application operates in a low-noise environment or the system already incorporates robust shielding, the LT1785 can be used directly. Otherwise, circuit stability should be re-evaluated or external filtering added.
2. ADM1485JRZ-REEL Substitution Conclusion
The ADM1485JRZ-REEL is identical to the original MAX487CSA+ in hysteresis voltage (70 mV), supply voltage, and package, ensuring equivalent noise margin and physical compatibility. However, its data rate reaches 30 Mbps, far exceeding the original’s 250 kbps. This device supports higher-speed communication protocols and is suitable for high-speed data transmission systems, while remaining backward compatible in lower-speed applications. That said, the high-speed design may lead to increased power consumption, stricter signal integrity requirements, or elevated electromagnetic interference (EMI) risks. When substituting, ensure the system power supply, PCB layout, and termination matching are adequate for high-speed operation. In purely low-speed applications, this may constitute overdesign, though functionally it remains viable.
