FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The DS36C279 is a low power differential bus/line
transceiver designed to meet the requirements of RS-
485 Standard for multipoint data transmission. In
addition it is compatible with TIA/EIA-422-B.
•
100% RS-485 Compliant
Specified RS-485 Device Interoperation
–
•
•
Low Power CMOS Design: ICC 500 μA Max
Automatic Sensing Sleep Mode
The sleep mode feature automatically puts the device
in a power saving mode when both the driver and
receiver are disabled.(2) The device is ideal for use in
power conscious applications where the device may
be disabled for extended periods of time.
–
Reduces ICC to 10 μA Maximum
•
Built-in Power Up/Down Glitch-Free Circuitry
–
Permits Live Transceiver
Intersection/Displacement
The driver and receiver outputs feature TRI-STATE
capability. The driver outputs operate over the entire
common mode range of −7V to +12V. Bus contention
or fault situations that cause excessive power
dissipation within the device are handled by a thermal
shutdown circuit, which forces the driver outputs into
a high impedance state.

On-Board Thermal Shutdown Circuitry
–
Prevents Damage to the Device in the Event
of Excessive Power Dissipation
The receiver incorporates a fail safe circuit which
ensures a high output state when the inputs are left
open.(3)
