LTC2861IDE#PBF

The LTC2859 and LTC2861 are low power, 20Mbps RS485/422 transceivers operating on 5V supplies. The receiver includes a logic-selectable 120Ω termination, one-eighth unit load supporting up to 256 nodes per bus (C-, I-grades), and a failsafe feature that guarantees a high output state under conditions of floating or shorted inputs. The driver features a logic-selectable low-EMI 250kbps operating mode, and maintains a high output impedance over the entire common mode range when disabled or when the supply is removed. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or a fault is prevented by current limiting all outputs and by a thermal shutdown. Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTC2859 and LTC2861 to withstand ±15KV (human body model) on the transceiver interface pins without latchup or damage.
