Description

The ST485A is a low power, high speed transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 communications. The device contains one driver and one receiver in half duplex configuration. The ST485A draws 3mA (typ.) of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled drivers. It operates from a single 5V supply.
