The LTC
®
485 is a low power differential bus/line trans-
ceiver designed for multipoint data transmission standard
RS485 applications with extended common mode range
(12V to –7V). It also meets the requirements of RS422.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload of ESD damage.
The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
the driver outputs maintaining high impedance over the
entire common mode range. Excessive power dissipation
caused by bus contention or faults is prevented by a
thermal shutdown circuit which forces the driver outputs
into a high impedance state.
The receiver has a fail-safe feature which guarantees a
high output state when the inputs are left open.
The LTC485 is fully specified over the commercial and
extended industrial temperature range.
