DESCRIPTION
The SP3481 and the SP3485 are a family of +3.3V low power half-duplex transceivers that
meet the specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. These devices are pin-to-
pin compatible with the Sipex SP481, SP483, and SP485 devices as well as popular industry
standards. The SP3481 and the SP3485 feature Sipex's BiCMOS process, allowing low power
operation without sacrificing performance. The SP3481 and SP3485 meet the electrical
specifications of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols up to 10Mbps under load. The SP3481
is equipped with a low power Shutdown mode.
