The SP3072EEN-L is a High-speed Transceiver for RS-485/RS-422 communication contain one driver and one receiver. This device features fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. Operates from a single 3.3V supply. Driver is output short-circuit current limited. Thermal-shutdown circuitry protects drivers against excessive power dissipation. When activated, the thermal-shutdown circuitry places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state.
±15kV ESD protection for RS485 pins
Advanced Receiver-failsafe protection for open, shorted or terminated lines
Up to 256 transceivers may share bus
Very low load for 8x greater fanout
Hot swap glitch protection RE and DE
Thermal shutdown protects against driver contention
