SP486/SP487 Quad RS-485/RS-422 Line Drivers RS-485 or RS-422 Applications Quad Differential Line Drivers Tri-state Output Control 40ns Typical Driver Propagation Delays 5ns Skew -7V to +2V Common Mode Output Range 00A Supply Current Single +5V Supply Operation Pin Compatible with SN7572, SN75 74, L TC486 and LTC487 DESCRIPTION The SP486 and SP487 are low-power quad differential line drivers meeting RS-485 and RS- 422 standards. The SP486 features a common driver enable control the SP487 provides independent driver enable controls for each pair of drivers. Both feature tri-state outputs and a wide common-mode output range. SP486 and SP487 are available in a 6-pin SOIC package.
