MAX3471
Key Features
- true fail-safe operation that guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted
- This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance)
- The MAX3471 has a 1/8-unit load input resistance
- When driver outputs are enabled and pulled above VCC or below GND, internal circuitry prevents battery backcharging
- The MAX3471 is available in an 8-pin µMAX package
