The LTC1487CS8#TRPBF is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Linear Technology Corporation. It is a low power half-duplex RS485/RS422 transceiver designed for robust communication in noisy industrial environments.
Key Features of LTC1487CS8#TRPBF:
1. RS485/RS422 Interface: The LTC1487CS8#TRPBF provides a high-speed interface for long-distance communication up to 2500 feet using balanced transmission lines, making it suitable for industrial automation, process control, and data acquisition applications.
2. Half-Duplex Operation: This IC is designed for half-duplex communication, meaning it can either transmit or receive signals, but not simultaneously.
3. ±15kV ESD Protection: The component offers robust electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection on the RS485/RS422 bus pins, safeguarding the IC against potentially damaging voltage spikes during operation.
4. Low Power Consumption: The LTC1487CS8#TRPBF is designed to operate within a low power budget, making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient applications.
5. High Noise Immunity: It includes a fail-safe receiver circuit that maintains a known output state on the bus in case the inputs are left floating, disconnected, or shorted.
6. Low Suppression of Common Mode Transients: The IC provides superior common-mode transient immunity, reducing errors and ensuring reliable data transmission in noisy industrial environments
