SN888C Datasheet (Texas Instruments) - Bus-Polarity Correcting RS-485 Transceiver

SN888C, Bus-Polarity Correcting RS-485 Transceiver

The SN888C is a low-power RS-485 transceiver with bus-polarity correction and transient protection.

Upon hot plug-in the device detects and corrects the bus polarity within the first 76 ms of bus idling.

On-chip transient protection protects the device against IEC61000 ESD and EFT transients.
