The ADM1486 is a differential line transceiver suitable for high speed bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. It is designed for balanced data transmission, complies with EIA Standards RS-485 and RS-422, and is recommended for PROFIBUS applications.
The ADM1486 is a differential line transceiver designed for high‑speed bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus lines. It operates from a single 5 V supply and includes independent driver and receiver enable pins, with high‑impedance outputs when disabled. The device meets EIA RS‑485 and RS‑422 standards and is recommended for PROFIBUS applications.
Key specifications include a 30 Mbps data rate, driver propagation delay of 11 ns, receiver propagation delay of 12 ns, and protection features such as thermal shutdown at 150 °C and short‑circuit current limiting to 200 mA. The part is offered in an 8‑lead narrow‑body SOIC package and is rated for an industrial temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C.
