Product Description
5 V RS-485 low-power transceiverDescriptionThe ADM485 is a differential line transceiver suitable for high-speed bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines.
It is designed for balanced data transmission and complies with EIA standards RS-485 and RS-422.
The part contains a differential line driver and a differential line receiver.
Both the driver and the receiver can be enabled independently.
When disabled, the outputs are three-staged.
Can be operated with a single 5-V supply.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by output shorting is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit.
If during fault conditions, a significant temperature increase is detected in the internal driver circuitry, this feature forces the driver output into a high impedance state.
