The driver outputs are slew rate limited in order to reduce EMI
and data errors caused by reflections from improperly
terminated buses. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus
contention or by output shorting is prevented with a thermal
shutdown circuit.
The parts are fully specified over the commercial and industrial
temperature ranges and are available in 8-lead SOIC and
LFCSP packages
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM4850-ADM4857 are differential line transceivers
suitable for high speed full and half duplex data communication
on multipoint bus transmission lines. They are designed for
balanced data transmission and comply with EIA Standards RS-
485 and RS-422. The ADM4850-ADM4853 are half duplex
transceivers which share differential lines and have separate
enable inputs for the driver and receiver. The full duplex
ADM4854-ADM4857 transceivers have dedicated differential
line driver outputs and receiver inputs.
Table 1. Selection Table
The devices have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance
which allows up to 256 transceivers on a bus. Since only one
driver should be enabled at any time, the output of a disabled or
powered down driver is three-stated to avoid overloading the
bus.

The receiver inputs have a true failsafe feature which ensures a
logic high output level when the inputs are open or shorted.
This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a known state
before communication begins and when communication ceases.
