I'm working on a project (A DMX512 compatible dimmer controller) which
requires all data transmission to conform to EIA-485, which is for
most practical intents and purposes the EIA(or RS)-422 spec.  This is
a balanced line with a voltage differential between the two lines of
at least 1.5V into 54 ohms. (EIA-422 is 2V into 100 ohms, >1/2 open
circuit V, according to the EIA-486 spec., so anything that conforms
to EIA-422 should be OK for 485, right?)
 
In any event, I need part numbers for line drivers that can be used
for this sort of thing, and are available from places like Jameco,
etc.
 
Thanks.
