3.3V 20Mbps RS485/RS422
Transceivers
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2850, LTC2851, and LTC2852 are low power,
20Mbps RS485/RS422 transceivers operating on 3.3V
supplies.Thereceiverhasaone-eighthunitloadsupporting
up to 256 nodes per bus (C, I-Grade), and a failsafe feature
that guarantees a high output state under conditions of
floating or shorted inputs.
