DESCRIPTIO
The LTC487^® is a low power differential bus/line driver
designed for multipoint data transmission standard RS485
applications with extended common-mode range (– 7V to
12V). It also meets RS422 requirements.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
The driver features three-state outputs, with the driver
outputs maintaining high impedance over the entire com-
mon-mode range. Excessive power dissipation caused by
bus contention or faults is prevented by a thermal shut-
down circuit which forces the driver outputs into a high
impedance state.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed from 0°C to
70°C (Commercial), – 40°C to 85°C (Industrial) and over
the 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.
