DESCRIPTION
The
SP3490
and the
SP3491
are +3.3V low power full duplex transceivers that meet the
specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. These devices are pin-to-pin
compatible with the
Sipex
SP490 and SP491 devices as well as popular industry standards.
The
SP3490
and the
SP3491
feature
Sipex's
BiCMOS process, allowing low power operation
without sacrificing performance. The
SP3490
and
SP3491
meet the electrical specifications
of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols up to 10Mbps under load. The
SP3491
is identical to
the
SP3490
with the addition of driver and receiver tri-state enable lines.
