SP3485
+3.3V Low Power Half-Duplex RS-485
Transceiver with 10Mbps Data Rate
• RS-485 and RS-422 Transceiver
• Operates from a single +3.3V Supply
• Interoperable with +5.0V logic
• Driver/Receiver Enable
• -7V to +2V Common-Mode Input Voltage Range
• Allows up to 32 transceivers on the serial bus
• Compatibility with industry standard 7576 pinout
• Driver Output Short-Circuit Protection
DESCRIPTION
The
SP3485
device is a +3.3V low power half-duplex transceiver that meets the specifica-
tions of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. This device is pin-to-pin compatible with
the
Exar
SP48, SP483 and SP485 devices as well as popular industry standards. The
SP3485
features the
Exar
BiCMOS process, allowing low power operation without sacrificing
performance. The
SP3485
can meet the electrical specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422
serial protocols up to 0Mbps under load.
