The SIT3088EEPA is a dual-channel transceiver with integrated RS-485 and RS-422 line drivers and receivers for balanced data communication. It is designed to meet the demands of industrial applications requiring robust and reliable high-speed communications. The device offers wide biasing of the line drivers to enable a low idle bias current in both differential and single-ended modes of operation. The device operates from a single 3.0 to 5.5V supply and is housed in an 8-lead DIP package and conforms to RoHS compliance regulations. Features of the SIT3088EEPA include high-speed operation of up to 250Kbps, robust ESD protection for operation in harsh industrial environments, 5kV (HBM) ESD protection on all pins, and logic-level compatible receiver pins with programmable hysteresis.
