Description

The AZRS485E is a ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2

contact discharge protected half-duplex RS485

transceiver IC, which contains one transmitter

and one receiver inside. This device is fully

compliant with the EIA/TIA-485 standard with 5V

power supply.

The AZRS485E features a fail-safe receiver,

which guarantees the output of the receiver to be

logic high when the differential inputs (bus pins, A

and B) of the receiver are open, short or idle

under abnormal operating conditions.

The AZRS485E features a hot-swap glitch-free

design which guarantees outputs of the

transmitter and the receiver in a high impedance

state and even no short current event during the

power up period. The AZRS485E has the thermal

shutdown and the current limited function in the

transmitter to protect the device from damage by

system fault conditions during normal operating

condition. The AZRS485E is designed 1/8 unit

load with minimum 96kohm of input impedance,

which can connect 256 devices on a bus at least.

The AZRS485E is also a high reliable device with

built-in system level ESD protected devices

against high-energy noise transients without

requiring any external components.
