UM3487E
Non-Polarity Features
The Polarities of driver and receiver is always kept the same status. When DE=/RE=LOGIC 0 and
RO is standing LOGIC 0 for TS time, the polarities will be reversed automatically.

Function
Receiver Output.
Receiver Enable. Drive /RE low to enable Receiver, RO is high
impedance when /RE is high. Drive /RE high and DE low to enter
low-power shutdown mode.
Driver Enable. Drive DE high to enable drivers. The outputs are
high impedance when DE is low. Drive /RE high and DE low to
enter low-power shutdown mode.
Driver Input.
Ground
Auto Polarity Reversal Receiver Input and Driver Output Pin.
When power up, the bus pins have their normal polarity
definition of L2 as non inverting and L1 as inverting; otherwise
L2 become inverting and L1 become non inverting for reversal
status.
