Introduction
The LT1785 and LT1791 RS485/RS422 transceivers with ±60V fault tolerance solve a real-world problem of field failures in typical RS485 interface circuits. Modems and other computer peripherals use point-to-point RS422 connections to support higher communication speeds with better noise immunity over greater distances than is possible with RS232 connections. Multipoint RS485 networks are used for LANs and industrial control networks. All of these applications are vulnerable to the unknown, sometimes hostile ...
