Q
All graphs within the datasheet indicate the device power consumption with the
driver enabled, there is no information as to the device power consumption with
the driver disabled. Could you provide this information please?
A
To provide you with typical data I tested the EVAL-ADM2687EEBZ evaluation board.
For Driver Disabled (DE low) and Receiver Enabled (/RE low), VCC 5V, no data on
receiver input: The current drawn from the power supply is 9mA, the power is
thus 5V*9mA = 45 mW.
For Driver Disabled (DE low) and Receiver Enabled (/RE low), VCC 5V, 500kbps
data on receiver input (with Vid 1.9V) : The current drawn from the power
supply is 10mA, the power is thus 5V*10mA = 50 mW.
