The devices have a ⅛ unit load receiver input impedance, which
allows up to 256 transceivers on a bus. Because only one driver
should be enabled at any time, the output of a disabled or powereddown driver is tristated to avoid overloading the bus.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM307xE are 3.3 V, low power data transceivers with
±15 kV ESD protection suitable for full- and half-duplex
communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. They
are designed for balanced data transmission, and they comply
with TIA/EIA standards: RS-485 and RS-422.

FEATURES
Figure 3.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature, which eliminates
the need for external bias resistors and ensures a logic high
output level when the inputs are open or shorted. This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a known state before
communication begins and when communication ceases.
