The digital outputs SLO and NSLO can be used as ei-
ther a push-pull, lowside or highside driver. The mode
of operation is determined by DTRI. The driving capa-
bility is set via the short-circuit current parameter.

In order to meet RS422 specifications a short-circuit
current of 50 mA should be selected as well as to re-
duce the internal power dissipation. The driving ca-
pability can be reduced when external line drivers are
used.

transmission frequency
In order to reduce crosstalk and to improve EMC the
slew rate can be selected to suit the line length. If
the edge steepness is reduced to 300 ns the maxi-
mum permissible transmission frequency is limited to
ca. 300 kHz if RS422 specifications are to be adhered
to.
