SP481E / SP485E
Enhanced Low Power Half-Duplex RS-485 Transceivers
• +5V Only • Low Power BiCMOS • Driver / Receiver Enable for Multi-Drop
configurations • Low Power Shutdown mode (SP481E) • Enhanced ESD Specifications:
+/-15kV Human Body Model +/-15kV IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge • Available in RoHS Compliant, Lead Free Packaging.
DESCRIPTION The SP481E and SP485E are a family of half-duplex transceivers 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 IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge Method. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with Exar's SP481 and SP485 devices as well as popular industry standards.
