AtomSoft Well-Known Member Jun 16, 2008 #1 Anyone have any notes on using a couple max487 to let 2 pics communicate from long Distances? I have the data sheet and the most confusing thing is: "Control Input Voltage (RE, DE)...................-0.5V to (VCC + 0.5V)" from: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2008/06/MAX1487-MAX491.pdf So is this telling me my pic has to send a Max. of .5v to this IC?

Click to expand... No it is telling you that the input should be limited to a range that includes 0.5V below GND to 0.5V above VCC. A signal outside this range will forward bias the input protection diodes. Trust me on this, you don't want that to happen.
