ISL81483, ISL81487
1/8 Unit Load, 5V, Low Power, High Speed or Slew Rate Limited, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
FN6050 Rev 9.00 Sep 6, 2018
These Renesas RS-485/RS-422 devices are “fractional” Unit Load (UL), BiCMOS, 5V powered, single transceivers that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. Unlike competitive devices, this family is specified for 10% tolerance supplies (4.5V to 5.5V).
The ISL81483 and ISL81487 present a 1/8 unit load to the RS-485 bus, which allows up to 256 transceivers on the network for large node count systems (for example, process automation, remote meter reading systems).
