The LTC
®
490 is a low power differential bus/line trans-
ceiver designed for multipoint data transmission standard
RS485 applications with extended common mode range
(12V to –7V). It also meets the requirements of RS422.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or
faults is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit which
forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state. The
receiver has a fail safe feature which guarantees a high
output state when the inputs are left open.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed from 0°C to
70°C and 4.75V to 5.25V supply voltage range.
