DESCRIPTION…
The
SP486E
and
SP487E
are low-power quad differential line drivers that meet the
specifications of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols with enhanced ESD performance. The
ESD tolerance has been improved on these devices to over +15kV for both Human Body
Model and IEC1000-4-2 Air Discharge Method. These devices are superior drop-in replace-
ments to
Sipex's SP486
and
SP487
devices as well as popular industry standards. As with
the original versions, the
SP486E
features a common driver enable control and the
SP487E
provides independent driver enable controls for each pair of drivers. Both feature wide
common-mode input ranges. Both are available in 16-pin plastic DIP and SOIC packages.

FEATURES…
The
SP486E
and
SP487E
are low–power quad
differential line drivers meeting RS-485 and
RS-422 standards. The
SP486E
features active
high and active low common driver enable
controls; the
SP487E
provides independent,
active high driver enable controls for each pair
of drivers. The driver outputs are short–circuit
limited to 200mA. Data rates up to 10Mbps are
supported. Both are available in 16–pin plastic
DIP and SOIC packages.
