DS36277
Dominant Mode Multipoint Transceiver
General Description
The DS36277 Dominant Mode Multipoint Transceiver is de-
signed for use on bi-directional differential busses. It is opti-
mal for use on Interfaces that utilize Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) J1708 Electrical Standard.
The device is similar to standard TIA/EIA-485 transceivers,
but differs in enabling scheme. The Driver’s Input is normally
externally tied LOW, thus providing only two states: Active
(LOW), or Disabled (OFF). When the driver is active, the
dominant mode is LOW, conversely, when the driver is dis-
abled, the bus is pulled HIGH by external bias resistors.
The receiver provides a FAILSAFE feature that guarantees a
known output state when the Interface is in the following
conditions: Floating Line, Idle Line (no active drivers), and
Line Fault Conditions (open or short). The receiver output is
HIGH for the following conditions: Open Inputs, Terminated
Inputs (50Ω), or Shorted Inputs. FAILSAFE is a highly desir-
able feature when the transceivers are used with Asynchro-
nous Controllers such as UARTs.
