The LTC487CSW#PBF is a low power differential bus/line Driver designed for multipoint data transmission standard RS485 applications with extended common mode range. The CMOS design offers significant power savings over its bipolar counterpart without sacrificing ruggedness against overload or ESD damage. The driver features three-state outputs with the driver outputs maintaining high impedance over the entire common mode range. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or faults is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit which forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state.
Thermal shutdown protection
Power-up/down glitch-free driver outputs
Driver maintains high impedance in three-state or with power OFF
Pin-compatible with the SN75174, DS96174, μA96174 and DS96F174
