General Description
The UM3488/UM3491 is ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers
for RS-422 communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The UM3491 contains an
additional receiver and driver enable control. The device features fail-safe circuitry, which
guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted. This means
that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled
(high impedance). The UM3488/UM3491 allows transmit speeds up to 10Mbps. The device
features enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to
±15kV using the Human Body Model.
These transceivers typically draw 180µA of supply current when unloaded, or when fully loaded
with the drivers disabled.
The device has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the
bus. The UM3488/UM3491 is intended for full-duplex communications.
