ADM1487
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM1487 is an ultra-low power RS-485/RS-422
transceiver consisting of one driver and one receiver per
package. Quiescent operating current is typically 80µA
and 1µA in shutdown mode. The driver and receiver both
have three-state outputs. This allows multiple drivers to be
connected to an RS-485/RS-422 bus, or several receiver
outputs to be connected to a serial data bus. The driver
will maintain a high-impedance output state even with
power off, while the receiver features fail-safe operation
that guarantees a logic high output if the inputs are left
open-circuit.
The device has slew-rate limited drivers to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce reflections
caused by incorrectly terminated cables.
