FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DS485 is a low-power transceiver for RS-485
Meets TIA/EIA RS-485 Multipoint Standard
and RS-422 communication. The device contains one
ensured Full Load Output Voltage (V
OD3
)
driver and one receiver. The drivers slew rate allows
Low Quiescent Current: 200 μA typ
for operation up to 2.5 Mbps (see Applications
Information section).
7V to +12V Common-Mode Input Voltage
Range
The transceiver draws 200 μA of supply current when
unloaded or fully loaded with the driver disabled and
TRI-STATE Outputs on Driver and Receiver
operates from a single +5V supply.
AC Performance:
The driver is short-circuit current limited and is
Driver Transition Time: 25 ns typ
protected against excessive power dissipation by
Driver Propagation Delay: 40 ns typ
thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver
Driver Skew: 1 ns typ
outputs into TRI-STATE (High Impedance state)
under fault conditions. The driver ensures a minimum
Receiver Propagation Delay: 200 ns typ
of 1.5V differential output voltage with maximum
Receiver Skew: 20 ns typ
loading across the common mode range (V
OD3
).
Half-Duplex Flow Through Pinout
The receiver has a failsafe feature that ensures a

logic-high output if the input is open circuit.
Allows Up To 32 Transceivers on the Bus
The DS485 is available in 8-pin SOIC and PDIP
