■ Low quiescent current: 300 µA
■ Designed for RS-485 interface application
■ - 7 V to 12 V common mode input voltage range
■ Driver maintains high impedance in 3-state or
with the power OFF
■ 70 mV typical input hysteresis
■ 30 ns propagation delay, 5 ns skew
■ Operates from a single 5 V supply
■ Current limiting and thermal shutdown for
driver overload protection
■ ESD protection:
– ± 15 kV (HBM)
– ± 8 kV (IEC-1000-4-2 contact discharge)
■ Allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus
