Description
The Renesas RRA48325 is a ±15kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD-protected, 3.3V to 5V powered single transceiver that meets both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. This device has very low bus currents (+125μA/-100μA), so it presents a true 1/8 unit load to the RS-485 bus. This allows up to 256 transceivers on the network without violating the RS-485 specification's 32-unit load maximum, and without using repeaters. For example, in a remote utility meter reading system, individual meter readings are routed to a concentrator using an RS-485 network, so the high allowed node count minimizes the number of repeaters required.
Hot plug circuitry ensures that the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) outputs remain in a high-impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.
Rx inputs feature a full fail-safe design, which ensures a logic high Rx output if Rx inputs are floating, shorted, or terminated but undriven.
The RRA48325 uses slew rate limited drivers which reduce EMI, and minimize reflections from improperly terminated transmission lines or unterminated stubs in multidrop and multipoint applications. Slew rate limited versions also include receiver input filtering to enhance noise immunity in the presence of slow input signals.
The RRA48325 is configured for half-duplex applications.
