The Renesas Electronics are Bi CMOS,5V, half duplex, 250kbps, slew rate limited, ±15kV ESD, 1/8 unit load, RS-485/RS-422 transceiver. it is ESD protected, fractional unit load and it is single transceiver that meet both the RS-485 and RS-422 standards for balanced communication. Each driver output/receiver input is protected against ESD strike without latch-up. All device present a 1/8 unit load to the RS-485 bus, which allows up to 256 transceiver on the network.
