Description

The SP3481 and the SP3485 are a family of +3.3V low power half-duplex transceivers that meet the specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. These devices are pin-topin compatible with the Sipex SP481, SP483, and SP485 devices as well as popular industry standards. The S P3481 and the SP3485 feature Sipex's BiCMOS process, allowing low power operation without sacrificing performance. The SP3481 and SP3485 meet the electrical specifications of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols up to 10Mbps under load. The Sp3481 is equipped with a low power Shutdown mode.
