Renesas Electronics Line Transceiver, Differential, 8-Pin SOIC

The Renesas RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver is fault-protected, extended common-mode range differential transceivers that exceed the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. The RS-485 bus pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) are fault protected against overvoltage's up to ±60V and are protected against ±16.5kV ESD strikes without latch-up. Additionally, these transceivers operate in environments with common-mode voltages up to ±15V (exceeds the RS-485 requirement), making this fault-protected RS-485 family one of the most robust on the market.

• Fault protected RS-485 bus pins up to ±60V
• 1/4 unit load for up to 128 devices on the bus
• ±16.5kV HBM ESD protection on RS-485 bus pins
• High transient over-voltage tolerance of ±80V
• RS-485 data rates of 250kbps to 15Mbps
• Low quiescent supply current of 2.3mA
• Ultra low shutdown supply current of 10μA
