ENHANCED RS-485 FEATURES
 |
- 15kV ESD Protection
- Robust for harsh environments
- Enhanced Failsafe
- Rx default to failsafe state if open, short or terminated
- Standard failsafe is only if Rx is open and floating
- 1/8th Unit Load
- High input impedance
- 256 transceiver can share bus
- Low load = more noise margin
- Slew Limited Drivers
- Thermal Shutdown
- Prevents thermal overload caused by bus contention
- Hot-Swap Protection
- Keeps driver and receiver inactive until power stabilizes
- Prevents false signals during power-on or hot-plug
- Wide Temperature Range
- -40 to +85șC Industrial
- -40 to +125șC Extended
- PROFIBUS Ready
- High output driver (2.1V min.)
- Fast 20Mbps rate, low skew

ENHANCED FAILSAFE PROTECTION
 |
- RS-485 communicates using differential voltages
- Receivers sense whether A>B or B>A
- A=B then receiver state is indeterminate
- Failsafe guarantees logic 1 if A=B
- Most standard RS-485 will only failsafe if the receiver inputs are OPEN
- i.e. if the cable is unplugged, inputs floating
- SP1486E include an Enhanced Failsafe
- Failsafe protection if inputs either open or SHORTED
- Protects if there is a termination resistor on the line
- Protects if bus-driver is off (tri-state) or loses power
- Protects if wires were pinched together, bridged or shorted
