These devices have robust 3.3-V drivers and receivers in a small package for demanding industrial applications. The bus pins are robust to ESD events with high levels of protection to Human-Body Model and IEC Contact Discharge specifications.

Each of these devices combines a differential driver and a differential receiver which operate from a single 3.3-V power supply. The driver differential outputs and the receiver differential inputs are connected internally to form a bus port suitable for half-duplex (two-wire bus) communication. These devices feature a wide common-mode voltage range making the devices suitable for multi-point applications over long cable runs. These devices are characterized from –40°C to 125°C.
