The LTC2874IFE#PBF is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component designed by Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices). It is a multiprotocol transceiver chip that offers a wide range of features, making it suitable for various communication applications.
The LTC2874IFE#PBF is specifically designed to cater to the needs of RS485/RS422 applications. It supports a combination of true RS485 and RS422 interfaces. With a supply voltage ranging from 3V to 5.5V, it offers a versatile power range.
One of the key features of the LTC2874IFE#PBF is its low power consumption, which makes it ideal for portable and battery-powered applications. It has a power-down mode that operates with a current as low as 1µA, thus conserving energy.
Moreover, the LTC2874IFE#PBF is capable of achieving data rates up to 52Mbps, enabling high-speed communication. It uses a slew rate-limited driver that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The IC component also incorporates a failsafe feature, ensuring that the bus remains in a known state when the driver is disabled. This feature prevents the bus from floating, thus improving reliability and system robustness.
Additionally, the LTC2874IFE#PBF offers built-in protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and fault conditions
