The SP485E is a half-duplex differential transceiver designed to interface digital logic with balanced RS-485 and RS-422 serial buses. It combines a differential line driver and receiver in one integrated circuit, allowing the same bus pair to be used for transmitting and receiving at different times. The device belongs to the enhanced version of the SP485 family and is designed around a low-power BiCMOS process.
Internally, the driver accepts logic data at the DI input and converts it into complementary differential signals on the A and B lines. The receiver monitors the voltage difference between these bus lines and reproduces the received logic state at RO. Separate DE and RE control inputs determine whether the driver and receiver are active or placed in a high-impedance state, providing controlled access to the communication bus.
Features:
- Half-duplex RS-485 and RS-422 transceiver architecture.

- Differential receiver inputs.
- Tri-state driver and receiver control.
- Fail-safe receiver operation for open inputs.
- Pin-to-pin compatibility with established SP485-type interfaces.
- Available in an 8-pin Plastic DIP package.
