DESCRIPTION
The ST490A is a low power transceiver for
RS-485 and RS-422 communications.Thedevice
contains one driver and one receiver in full dup lex
configuration. The ST490A draws 5mA (typ.) of
supply current when unl oaded or fully loaded with
disabled drivers. It operates from a single 5V
supply.
Driver is short-circuit current limited and is
protected against excessive power dissipation by
thermal shutdown circuitry that place t he driver
outputs into a high-impedance state. The rec eiver
input has a fail-safe feature that guarant ees a
logic high output if both inputs are open circuit.
