Switchable Termination
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®2854 and LTC2855 are low power, 20Mbps
RS485/RS422 transceivers operating on 3.3V supplies.
Thereceiverincludesalogic-selectable120Ωtermination,
one-eighth unit load supporting up to 256 nodes per bus
(C-, I-Grade), and a failsafe feature that guarantees a high
outputstateunderconditionsoffloatingorshortedinputs.

entire common mode range when disabled or when the
supplyisremoved.Excessivepowerdissipationcausedby
bus contention or a fault is prevented by current limiting
