and the logic level interface. The powered side contains a
420kHz push-pull converter to power the isolated RS485
transceiver. Internal full-duplex communication occurs
through the capacitive isolation barrier. The transceiver
meets RS485 and RS422 requirements.

The driver and receiver feature three-state outputs, with
the driver maintaining high impedance over the entire
common mode range. The drivers have short-circuit

to minimize EMI or reflections. The 68kΩ receiver input
allows up to 128 node connections. A fail-safe feature
defaults to a high output state when the receiver inputs
are open or shorted.
8kV ESD Protection On Driver Outputs and
Receiver Inputs
