UM3491
+3.3V Low Power,±15kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe, RS-422
Transceivers in SOP14/DIP14
General Description
The UM3491 is ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for
RS-422 communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The device features fail-safe
circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or
shorted. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated
bus are disabled (high impedance). The UM3491 allowing transmit speeds up to 10Mbps. The
device features enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are
protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
These transceivers typically draw 180µA of supply current when unloaded, or when fully
loaded with the drivers disabled.
The device has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the
bus. The UM3491 is intended for full-duplex communications.
