LTC2858-1 and LTC2858-2 are low power, RS485/RS422
transceivers operating on 5V supplies at maximum data
rates of 20Mbps or 250kbps for low EMI. The receiver has
a one-eighth unit load, supporting 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.

Operation Up to ±25°C (ꢁ-Grade)
Guaranteed Failsafe Receiver Operation Over the
Entire Common Mode Range
Current Limited Drivers and Thermal Shutdown
Delayed Micropower Shutdown: 5µA Maximum

Power Up/Down Glitch-Free Driver Outputs
Low Operating Current: 900µA Maximum in Receive
Mode

The driver maintains a high output impedance over the
entire common mode range when disabled or when the
supply is removed. Excessive power dissipation caused
by bus contention or a fault is prevented by current limit-
ing all outputs and by thermal shutdown.

Enhanced ESD protection allows these parts to withstand
15kV (human body model) on the transceiver interface
pins without latchup or damage.
