The LTC
®
1484 is a low power RS485 compatible trans-
ceiver. In receiver mode, it offers a fail-safe feature which
guarantees a high receiver output state when the inputs
are left open, shorted together or terminated with no
signal present. No external components are required to
ensure the high receiver output state.
Both driver and receiver feature three-state outputs with
separate receiver and driver control pins. The driver
outputs maintain high impedance over the entire com-
mon mode range when three-stated. Excessive power
dissipation caused by bus contention or faults is pre-
vented by a thermal shutdown circuit that forces the
driver outputs into a high impedance state.
Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTC1484 to with-
stand ±15kV (human body model), IEC-1000-4-2 level 4
(±8kV) contact and level 3 (±8kV) air discharge ESD
without latchup or damage.
The LTC1484 is fully specified over the commercial and
industrial temperature ranges and is available in 8-lead
MSOP, PDIP and SO packages.
