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.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
These are stress ratings only and functional operation
of the device at these ratings or any other above those
indicated in the operation sections of the specifications
below is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum
rating conditions for extended periods of time may
affect reliability.
