DESCRIPTION

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.

PACKAGE/ORDER INFORMATION

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.
