GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM2484E is an isolated data transceiver with ±15 kV ESD protection suitable for high speed, half- or full-duplex communication on multipoint transmission lines. For half duplex operation, the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs share the same transmission line. Transmitter Output Pin Y links externally to Receiver Input Pin A, and Transmitter Output Pin Z links externally to Receiver Input Pin B.
