Features

• Full-Duplex Communication: Supports simultaneous transmission and reception of data on a differential bus, providing more efficient data transfer.
• RS-485 Standard Compliance: Fully complies with the RS-485 specification, ensuring reliable communication in harsh industrial environments.
• High-Speed Communication: Capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 10 Mbps, suitable for high-performance applications.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates with a supply voltage from 4.75V to 5.25V, making it versatile for various power environments.
• Enhanced Robustness: Features protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and ESD, ensuring long-lasting performance in industrial settings.
• Low Power Consumption: Consumes minimal power when idle, making it ideal for low-energy applications.
• Thermal Shutdown: Built-in thermal shutdown to protect the device from overheating.
• Failsafe Receiver: Ensures the receiver provides a valid output (high or low) even in cases of bus faults such as an open circuit or short circuit.
• High Drive Capability: Capable of driving long communication distances with minimal signal degradation.
• Driver Tri-state Control: The driver can be disabled to allow the bus to be released or connected to other transceivers, providing flexibility in multi-point systems.
