SP483 / SP485
Low Power Half-Duplex RS-485 Transceivers
FEATURES
• +5V Only
• Low Power BiCMOS
• Driver / Receiver Enable
• Slew Rate Limited Driver for Low EMI (SP483)
• Low Power Shutdown mode (SP483)
• RS-485 and RS-422 Drivers/Receivers
DESCRIPTION
The
SP483
and
SP485
are a family of half-duplex transceivers that meet the specifications
of RS-485 and RS-422. Their BiCMOS design allows low power operation without sacrificing
performance. The
SP485
meets the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422 up to 5Mbps. Ad-
ditionally, the
SP483
is equipped with a low power Shutdown mode. The
SP483
is internally
slew rate limited to reduce EMI and can meet the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422 up
to 250kbps.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
These are stress ratings only and functional operation
of the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods of time may
affect reliability.
