Key Featrues

±15kV ESD Protection - This feature ensures robust protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to ±15kV, safeguarding the transceiver from damage in harsh industrial environments. This enhances reliability and longevity, making it suitable for applications like industrial control systems and telecommunications.
3.3V Single Supply Operation - The device operates from a single +3.3V power supply, eliminating the need for a charge pump. This simplifies power management, reduces design complexity, and improves energy efficiency in low-power applications.
Slew-Rate Limiting - The slew-rate-limited drivers minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce signal reflections caused by improperly terminated cables. This ensures error-free data transmission at lower data rates (up to 250kbps), making it ideal for EMI-sensitive applications.
High Data Rate (12Mbps) - With a guaranteed data rate of up to 12Mbps, the transceiver supports high-speed communication, enabling efficient data transfer in applications like packet switching and integrated services digital networks.
Low-Current Shutdown Mode (2nA) - The device features a low-current shutdown mode that consumes only 2nA, significantly reducing power consumption when the transceiver is idle. This is particularly beneficial for battery-powered or energy-efficient systems.
