The Renesas Electronics Transmitter HBM ESD protected single transmitters for differential communication. This driver have very low bus currents, so they present less than a 1/8 unit load to the bus. Hot plug circuitry ensures that the Tx outputs remain in a high impedance state while the power supply stabilizes.

Slew rate limited for data rates up to 256kbps
Current limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload protection
5V tolerant logic inputs
Pb-Free (RoHS Compliant)
