Product Summary

The LT1791A is a half-duplex and full-duplex differential bus transceiver for RS485 and RS422 applications which feature on-chip protection from overvoltage faults on the data transmission lines. Receiver input and driver output pins of the LT1791A can withstand voltage faults up to ±60V with respect to ground with no damage to the device. Faults may occur while the transceiver is active, shut down or powered off. The LT1791A has “fail-safe” receiver inputs to guarantee a receiver output high for shorted, open or inactive data lines. On-chip ESD protection eliminates need for external protection devices. The LT1791A is available in 14-lead DIP and SO packages. The applications of the device include: Industrial Control Data Networks, CAN Bus Applications, HVAC Controls.
