POLARITY FREE, FAIL-SAFE, 500KBPS, RS-485 / RS-422 TRANSCEIVERS WITH ±12KV

ESD-PROTECTED

DESCRIPTION

The UTC  UTRS458 is a Polarity-Free half-duplex transceiver

designed for RS-485 data bus network, which contains one transmitter

and one receiver. The UTC  UTRS458 features a fail-safe receiver,

which guarantees the receiver to output high when the receiver inputs

are open, short or idle.  

The UTC UTRS458 can automatically detect the polarity for A and

B pins when pull-high for A and pull-low for B have been designed on

the RS485 bus. The detection function is real-time monitored the bus

polarity without any data flow on the RS485 bus.

The UTC UTRS458 also features a hot-swap glitch free protection

circuits which guarantee outputs  of both the transmitter and the

receiver in a high impedance state during the power up period. So that

the large short current from power to ground will be disable by glitch

free function, which will save the power and enhance the efficiency of

the power up.  

The UTC  UTRS458 is optimized for signal rates up to 500Kbps

with differential voltage of 2.3V. The UTC  UTRS458 also has the

thermal shutdown function when the temperature is over 150°C and

the protection of the current limitation in the transmitter to protect the

itself from the damage by the system-fault conditions during normal

operation.
