• ESD Protection: ±15kV (Human Body Model) on bus pins
• Half-Duplex operation
• Low Power Consumption:
• 1.1mA (typ) supply current (disabled mode)
• 5.5mA (typ) supply current (active mode)
• Wide Supply Voltage Range: 3V to 5.5V
• Thermal Shutdown Protection
• Short-Circuit Current Limiting
• Fail-Safe Receiver Inputs (ensures logic-high output when inputs are open, shorted, or idle)
• Industrial Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C

Package:

• 16-Pin TSSOP (EC)

Applications:

• Industrial automation
• Building control systems
• Automotive networks
• Harsh-environment communications

This transceiver is designed for reliable data transmission in noisy environments while providing robust protection against electrical faults.
