XR33032/35/38
WIDE SUPPLY 18V TOLERANT RS-485/RS-422 TRANSCEIVERS
FEBRUARY 2014
REV. 1.0.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The XR33032/35/38 family of high performance half duplex RS-485 transceivers are optimized to operate over a wide range of supply voltage, from +2.8V to +5.5V. The analog bus pins can withstand direct shorts up to ±18V, and are protected against ESD events up to ±15kV.
In an isolated application it may be more efficient to use a remote power supply rather than generating an isolated supply at every node. The XR33032/35/38 transceivers can operate with more than 2V IR drop in the cable when utilizing a remote 5V power supply. The transceivers draw less than 600µA, and typically only 300µA when idling with the receivers active.
