General Description
The UM3488/UM3491 is ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for RS-422 communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The UM3491 contains an additional receiver and driver enable control. The device features fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The UM3488/UM3491 allows transmit speeds up to 10Mbps. The device features enhanced ESD protection.
