Low-Power RS-485 Full-Duplex Drivers/Receivers

Each of these devices is a balanced

driver and receiver designed for full-duplex RS-485 or RS-422 data bus networks.

Powered by a 5-V supply, they are fully compliant with the TIA/EIA-485A

standard.

With controlled bus output transition

times, the devices are suitable for signaling rates from 200 kbps to 20 Mbps.

The devices are designed to operate

with a low supply current, less than 1 mA (typical), exclusive of the load. When in

the inactive shutdown mode, the supply current drops to a few nanoamps, making these

devices ideal for power-sensitive applications.

The wide common-mode range and high

ESD protection levels of these devices make them suitable for demanding applications

such as motion controllers, electrical inverters, industrial networks, and cabled

chassis interconnects where noise tolerance is essential.

These devices are characterized for

operation over the temperature range -40°C to 85°C
