STC485E
± 15kV ESD-Protected,Slew-Rate-Limited, Fail-Safe,True RS-485 Transceivers
General Description
The STC485E is ± 15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for RS-485 communication that contains one driver and one receiver. These devices feature fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted or idle. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The STC485E features reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 500kbps. All devices feature enhanced ESD protection.
