LTC2851HMS8#TRPBF is a low-power, full-duplex RS485/RS422 transceiver from Analog Devices (Linear Technology) that operates on a single 3.3V supply. The device is part of the LTC2850/LTC2851/LTC2852 family of rugged 3.3V transceivers, where the LTC2851 provides full-duplex operation without driver/receiver enable pins, simplifying system design for applications requiring continuous full-duplex communication.[reference:0]
The receiver features a one-eighth unit load, supporting up to 256 nodes per bus (C and I grades), and includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees a high output state when the receiver inputs are floating or shorted.[reference:1] The driver maintains a high output impedance over the entire common-mode range when disabled or unpowered, and current-limited outputs combined with thermal shutdown prevent excessive power dissipation from bus contention or faults.[reference:2]
Enhanced ESD protection allows the transceiver interface pins to withstand up to ±15kV (Human Body Model) without latch-up or damage.[reference:3] The LTC2851HMS8#TRPBF is the H-Grade version in an 8-lead MSOP package, fully specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C. The device is RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and in active production.
3.3V Full-Duplex RS485/RS422 Low-power transceiver with 20Mbps maximum data rate, full-duplex operation, and no driver/receiver enable pins for simplified design.
256-Node Support & Fail-Safe One-eighth unit load receiver supports up to 256 nodes per bus, with fail-safe output guaranteed high when inputs are open or shorted.
±15kV ESD & H-Grade Temperature Enhanced ESD protection up to ±15kV HBM on interface pins, with the H-Grade version specified over –40°C to +125°C for harsh environments.
