The Renesas Transceiver is of 5V powered RS-485/RS-422 transceivers features high output drive and high ESD protection. The devices withstand ±16.5kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD strikes without latch-up. The large output voltage of 3.1V typical into a 54Ω load provides high noise immunity, and enables the drive of up to 8000ft long bus segments, or eight 120Ω terminations in a star topology.

High transient overvoltage tolerance of ±100V
Full fail-safe outputs for open or shorted inputs
Hot plug capability - driver and receiver outputs remain high-impedance during power-up and power-down
Supported data rates of 115kbps, 1Mbps, 20Mbps
Low supply current (driver disabled) of 550μA
Ultra-low shutdown current of 70nA
