The MAX13487E/ MAX13488E feature a hot-swap capability allowing line insertion without erroneous data transfer (see the HotSwap Capability section). The MAX13487E features reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free transmission up to 500kbps. The MAX13488E driver slew rate is not limited, making data throughput of up to 16Mbps possible. AutoDirection Circuitry Internal circuitry in the MAX13487E/MAX13488E, in conjunction with an external pullup resistor on A and pulldown resistor on B (see Typical Operation Circuit), act to automatically disable or enable the driver and receiver to keep the bus in the correct state. This AutoDirection circuitry consists of a state machine and an additional receive comparator that determines whether this device is trying to drive the bus, or another node on the network is driving the bus. The internal state machine has two inputs: • DI • The current state of A-B (determined by a dedicated differential comparator) The state machine also has two outputs: • DRIVER_ENABLE—Internal signal that enables and disables the driver • RECEIVER_ENABLE—Internal signal that is the inverse of the DRIVER_ENABLE signal, but it can be overridden by an external pin When DI is low, the device always drives the bus low. When DI is high, the device drives the bus for a short time, then disables the driver and allows the external pullup/pulldown resistors to hold the bus in the high state (A-B > 200mV). During each low-to-high transition of DI, the driver stays enabled until (A-B) > VDT, and then disables the driver, letting the pullup/pulldown resistors hold the A and B lines in the correct state. Pullup and Pulldown Resistors The pullup and pulldown resistors on the A and B lines are required for proper operation of the device although their exact value is not critical. They function to hold the bus in the high state (A-B > 200mV) following a low-to-high transition. Sizing of these resistors is determined in the same way as when using any other RS-485 driver and depends on how the line is terminated and how many nodes are on the bus. The most 12 important factor when sizing these resistors is to guarantee that the idle voltage on the bus (A-B) is greater than 200mV in order to remain compatible with standard RS-485 receiver thresholds. Idle State When not transmitting data, the MAX13487E/ MAX13488E require the DI input be driven high to remain in the idle state. A conventional RS-485 transceiver has DE and RE inputs that are used to enable and disable the driver and receiver. However, the MAX13487E/MAX13488E does not have a DE input, and instead uses an internal state machine to enable and disable the drivers. DI must be driven high in order to go to the idle state. Hot-Swap Capability Hot-Swap Inputs When circuit boards are inserted into a hot or powered back plane, differential disturbances to the data bus can lead to data errors. Upon initial circuit-board insertion, the data communication processor undergoes its own power-up sequence. During this period, the processor’s logic-output drivers are high impedance and are unable to drive the DI and RE inputs of these devices to a defined logic level. Leakage currents up to ±10µA from the high-impedance state of the processor’s logic drivers could cause standard CMOS enable inputs of a transceiver to drift to an incorrect logic level. Additionally, parasitic circuit-board capacitance could cause coupling of VCC or GND to the enable inputs. Without the hot-swap capability, these factors could improperly enable the transceiver’s driver. To overcome both these problems, two different pullup switches (strong and weak) are turned on during the power-up. When VCC rises, an internal power-up signal enables a strong pullup circuit. It holds DI and RE high with 1mA for 15µs. Once the timeout is expired, this strong pullup is switched off. A weak pullup (100µA) remains active to overcome leakage on the pin. This second weak pullup disappears as soon as the microcontroller forces a low state on these pins. Therefore, in normal operation (after the first activation), these pins can be considered as high-impedance pins (CMOS inputs) without any pullup circuitry. The AutoDirection state machine is initialized, forcing the driver disabled. The receiver is enabled in AutoDirection mode. Hot-Swap Input Circuitry The enable inputs feature hot-swap capability. At the input there are two pMOS devices, M1 and M2 (Figure 9). When VCC ramps from zero, an internal 15µs timer turns ______________________________________________________________________________________ Half-Duplex RS-485-/RS-422-Compatible Transceiver with AutoDirection Control VCC 15µs TIMER SR LATCH TIMER ±15kV ESD Protection As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX13487E/MAX13488E have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event, the MAX13487E/MAX13488E keep working without latchup or damage. ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX13487E/MAX13488E are characterized for protection to the following limits: • ±15kV using the Human Body Model • ±15kV using the Air Gap Discharge Method specified in 61000-4-2 (MAX13487E only) ESD Test Conditions ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions. Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test setup, test methodology, and test results. Human Body Model Figure 10a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 10b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kΩ resistor. IEC 61000-4-2 The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment. However, it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX13487E/MAX13488E help you design equipment to 5kΩ RE (HOT SWAP) RE 100µA 500µA M2 M1 VCC Figure 9. Simplified Structure of the Receiver Enable Pin (RE) meet IEC 61000-4-2 without the need for additional ESD-protection components. The major difference between tests done using the Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2 because series resistance is lower in the IEC 61000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 10c shows the IEC 61000-4-2 model, and Figure 10d shows the current waveform for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Contact Discharge test. Machine Model The machine model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. The objective is to emulate the stress caused when I/O pins are contacted by handling equipment during test and assembly. Of course, all pins require this protection, not just RS-485 inputs and outputs. The Air-Gap test involves approaching the device with a charged probe. The Contact-Discharge method connects the probe to the device before the probe is energized. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX13487E/MAX13488E on M2 and sets the SR latch, which also turns on M1. Transistors M2, a 1.5mA current source, and M1, a 500µA current source, pull RE to VCC through a 5kΩ resistor. M2 is designed to pull RE to the disabled state against an external parasitic capacitance up to 100pF that can drive RE high. After 15µs, the timer deactivates M2 while M1 remains on, holding DI high against three-state leakages that can drive RE low. M1 remains on until an external source overcomes the required input current. At this time, the SR latch resets and M1 turns off. When M1 turns off, RE reverts to a standard, high-impedance CMOS input. Whenever VCC drops below 1V, the hot-swap input is reset. DI has similar hot-swap circuitry.

Human Body Current Waveform Applications Information 128 Transceivers on the Bus The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ (1-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to 32-unit loads. The MAX13487E/MAX13488E have a 1/4unit load receiver input impedance (48kΩ), allowing up to 128 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one communication line. Any combination of these devices, as well as other RS-485 transceivers with a total of 32unit loads or fewer, can be connected to the line. Reduced EMI and Reflections The MAX13487E features reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 500kbps. tr = 0.7ns TO 1ns t 30ns 60ns Figure 10d. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Generator Current Waveform Low-Power Shutdown Mode Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing SHDN low. In shutdown, the devices draw a maximum of 10µA of supply current. The devices are guaranteed not to enter shutdown if SHDN is low for less than 50ns. If the inputs are in this state for at least 700ns, the devices are guaranteed to enter shutdown. Enable times tZH and tZL (see the Switching Characteristics section) assume the devices were not in a lowpower shutdown state. Enable times t ZH(SHDN) and tZL(SHDN) assume the devices were in shutdown state. It takes drivers and receivers longer to become enabled from low-power shutdown mode (tZH(SHDN), tZL(SHDN)) than from driver/receiver-disable mode (tZH, tZL). Line Length The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to 4000ft. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Half-Duplex RS-485-/RS-422-Compatible Transceiver with AutoDirection Control DI D VCC Rt SHDN RO RE D Rt VCC SHDN VCC R R MAX13487E MAX13488E R RO RE R D D DI DI SHDN RO RE DI SHDN RO RE Figure 11. Typical Half-Duplex RS-485 Network Typical Applications The MAX13487E/MAX13488E transceivers are designed for half-duplex, bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus transmission lines. Figure 11 shows a typical network application. To minimize reflections, terminate the line at both ends in its characteristic impedance, and keep stub lengths off the main line as short as possible. The slew-rate-limited MAX13487E is more tolerant of imperfect termination. Circuit shows an isolated RS-485 interface using the MAX13487E/MAX13488E. The transceiver is powered separately from the controlling circuitry. The AutoDirection feature of the MAX13487E/MAX13488E (see the AutoDirection Circuitry section), replaces an external relay allowing faster switching speeds, no contact bounce, better reliability, and better electrical isolation. The MAX13487E/MAX13488E only require two optocouplers to electrically isolate the transceiver. Isolated RS-485 Interface An isolated RS-485 interface electrically isolates different nodes on the bus to protect the bus from problems due to high common-mode voltages that exceed the RS-485 common-mode voltage range, conductive noise, and ground loops.
