488 and LTC489 are low power differential bus/
line receivers designed for multipoint data transmission
standard RS485 applications with extended common mode
range (12V to – 7V). They also meet the requirements of
RS422.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its
bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against
overload or ESD damage.
The receiver features three-state outputs, with the receiver
output maintaining high impedance over the entire com-
mon mode range.
The receiver has a fail-safe feature which guarantees a
high output state when the inputs are left open.
Both AC and DC specifications are guaranteed 4.75V to
5.25V supply voltage range.
