PRODUCTION DATA
RS-485 specifies that the receiver output state should be logic high for differential input voltages of VAB ≥ +200 mV and logic low for VAB ≤ –200 mV. For input voltages in between these limits, a receiver’s output state is not defined and can randomly assume high or low. Removing the uncertainty of random output states, modern transceiver designs include internal biasing circuits that put the receiver output into a defined state (typically high) in the absence of a valid input signal. A loss of input signal can be caused by:
