UM3491
+3.3V Low Power
,
±15kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe, RS-422
Transceivers in SOP14/DIP14
General Description
The UM3491 is ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for
RS-422 communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The device features fail-safe
circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or
shorted. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated
bus are disabled (high impedance). The UM3491 allowing transmit speeds up to 10Mbps. The
device features enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are
protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
These transceivers typically draw 180µA of supply current when unloaded, or when fully
loaded with the drivers disabled.
The device has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the
bus. The UM3491 is intended for full-duplex communications.

Note 4:
The device is put into shutdown by bringing R E high and DE low. If the enable inputs are
in this state for less than 50ns, the device is guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the enable inputs are in
this state for at least 600ns, the device is guaranteed to have entered shutdown.
