RS485/422 transceivers operating on 5V supplies. The
receiver includes a logic-selectable 120Ω termination,
one-eighth unit load supporting up to 256 nodes per bus
(C-, I-grades), and a failsafe feature that guarantees a high
output state under conditions of floating or shorted inputs.
The driver features a logic-selectable low-EMI 250kbps
operating mode, and maintains a high output impedance
over the entire common mode range when disabled or
when the supply is removed. Excessive power dissipation
caused by bus contention or a fault is prevented by current
limiting all outputs and by a thermal shutdown.
Enhanced ESD protection allows the LTC2859 and LTC2861
to withstand ±15kV (human body model) on the transceiver
interface pins without latchup or damage.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime..
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device ground unless
otherwise specified.
Note 3:
Maximum data rate is guaranteed by other measured parameters
and is not tested directly.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
