MAX485 does it need docupling capacitors

Hi I am designing small device with two MAX485 chips



enter image description here



Do they need the decoupling capacitors on the 5V power?

    This really depends on the impedance and inductance of your supply to the chip; a decoupling capacitor is generally best practice, generally has low cost/complexity for assembly, and shouldn't hurt.

    As a general rule ALL IC's should have ample decoupling capacitors.

    The bypass cap are almost universally used with the purpose of minimising the power supply impedance.

    Sometimes you can share decoupling caps if you know the feed inductance (e.g. 10nH/cm * length * 2), current rise time and tolerance for LdI/dt=V drop

Yes. All ICs need decoupling capacitors. Devices such as these drivers really need them due to the current changes the device experiences due to the low value termination resistors used on the bus lines.

    You could debate whether all ICs strictly need decoupling caps, but it never hurts to add some.
