GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Aeroflex-Plainview ACT4485 is a monolithic dual bus/line transceiver designed for multipoint data
transmission standard RS485 applicatons. The ACT4485 meets TIA/EIA -485 requirements. The receiver has a
fail-safe feature which guarantees a high output state when the BUS is open or shorted.
