TJ3485

HTC Korea TJ3485 is a low-power half-duplex transceiver that meets the specifications of RS-485 and RS-422. IC contains one driver and one receiver. The driver slew rates is not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 5Mbps. These transceivers draw between 120μA and 500μA of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. All parts operate from a single 3.3V supply. Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that  places the driver outputs into a high-impedance states. The receiver input has a fail-safe
feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The ESD tolerance is more than ±8kV for both Human Body  Model and ±15kV for IEC61000-4-2 Air  Discharge Method on this device.
