19-2536; Rev 0; 7/02
±15kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe, 20Mbps, Slew-RateLimited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers in a SOT
Features
♦ True Fail-Safe Receiver While Maintaining
EIA/TIA-485 Compatibility
The MAX3060E features slew-rate-limited drivers that
minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data
transmission up to 115kbps. The MAX3061E, also slewrate limited, transmits up to 500kbps. The MAX3062E
driver is not slew-rate limited, allowing transmit speeds
up to 20Mbps. All transmitter outputs are protected to
±15kV using the Human Body Model.
♦ ESD Protection: ±15kV Human Body Model
These transceivers typically draw 910µA of supply
current when unloaded, or 790µA when fully loaded
with the drivers disabled.
All devices have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus. These
devices are intended for half-duplex communication.
♦ Enhanced Slew-Rate Limiting Facilitates
Error-Free Data Transmission (MAX3060E and
MAX3061E)
♦ 1nA Low-Current Shutdown Mode
♦ Hot-Swappable for Telecom Applications
♦ Allow Up to 256 Transceivers on the Bus
♦ Space-Saving 8-Pin SOT23 Package

MAX3060E/MAX3061E/MAX3062E
General Description
The MAX3060E/MAX3061E/MAX3062E high-speed
transceivers for RS-485/RS-422 communication contain
one driver and one receiver. These devices feature failsafe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver
output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted.
This means that the receiver output is a logic high if all
transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high
impedance). These devices also feature hot-swap circuitry that eliminates data glitches during hot insertion.

Note 1: Overtemperature limits are guaranteed by design and are not production tested. Devices are tested at TA = +25°C.
Note 2: All currents into the device are positive; all currents out of the device are negative. All voltages are referred to device
ground, unless otherwise noted.
Note 3: ∆VOD and ∆VOC are the changes in VOD and VOC, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 4: This input current level is for the hot-swap enable (DE, RE) inputs and is present until the first transition only. After the first
transition, the input reverts to a standard high-impedance CMOS input with input current IIN1. For the first 10µs, the input
current can be as high as 1mA. During this period the input is disabled.
Note 5: Maximum current level applies to peak current just prior to foldback-current limiting; minimum current level applies during
current limiting.
Note 6: The device is put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the enable inputs are in this state for less than 50ns, the
device is guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the enable inputs are in this state for at least 600ns, the device is guaranteed
to have entered shutdown.

Detailed Description
The MAX3060E/MAX3061E/MAX3062E high-speed transceivers for RS-485/RS-422 communication contain one
driver and one receiver. These devices feature fail-safe
circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output
when the receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when
they are connected to a terminated transmission line with
all drivers disabled (see the Fail Safe section). All devices
have a hot-swap input structure that prevents disturbances on the differential signal lines when a circuit
board is plugged into a hot backplane (see the Hot-Swap
Capability section). The MAX3060E features a reduced
slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission up to 115kbps (see the
Reduced EMI and Reflections section). The MAX3061E is
also slew-rate limited, transmitting up to 500kbps. The
MAX3062E driver is not slew-rate limited, allowing transmit speeds up to 20Mbps. The MAX3060E/MAX3061E/
MAX3062E are half-duplex transceivers.
All of these parts operate from a single +5V supply.
Drivers are output short-circuit current limited. Thermalshutdown circuitry protects drivers against excessive
power dissipation. When activated, the thermal-shutdown circuitry places the driver outputs into a highimpedance state.
Receiver Input Filtering
The receivers of the MAX3060E and MAX3061E incorporate input filtering in addition to input hysteresis. This filtering enhances noise immunity with differential signals
that have very slow rise and fall times. Receiver propagation delay increases by 2ns due to this filtering.
Fail-Safe
The MAX3060E family of devices guarantee a logic-high
receiver output when the receiver inputs are shorted or
open, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. This is done by setting the receiver threshold between -50mV and
-200mV. If the differential receiver input voltage (A - B) is
greater than or equal to -50mV, RO is logic high. If
A - B is less than or equal to -200mV, RO is logic low. In
the case of a terminated bus with all transmitters disabled, the receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled to
0V by the termination. In the case of an unterminated bus
with all transmitters disabled, the receiver’s differential
input voltage is pulled to 0V by the receiver’s input resistors. With the receiver thresholds of the MAX3060E family, this results in a logic high output with a 50mV
minimum input noise margin. Unlike previous fail-safe
devices, the -50mV to -200mV threshold complies with
the ±200mV EIA/TIA-485 standard.

Hot-Swap Capability
Hot-Swap Input
When circuit boards are inserted into a hot or powered
backplane, differential disturbances to the data bus can
lead to data errors. Upon initial circuit board insertion, the
data communication processor undergoes its own powerup sequence. During this period, the processor’s logicoutput drivers are high impedance and are unable to
drive the DE and RE inputs of the MAX306_E to a defined
logic level. Leakage currents up to ±10µA from the highimpedance 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 or receiver.
When VCC rises, an internal pulldown circuit holds DE
low for at least 10µs and until the current into DE
exceeds 200µA. After the initial positive transition, the
pulldown circuit becomes transparent, resetting the
hot-swap tolerable input.
Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
These devices’ enable inputs feature hot-swap capability. At the input there are two NMOS devices, M1 and M2
(Figure 10). When VCC ramps from zero, an internal 10µs
timer turns on M2 and sets the SR latch, which also turns
on M1. Transistors M2, a 300µA current sink, and M1, a
30µA current sink, pull DE to GND through an 8kΩ resistor. M2 is designed to pull DE to the disabled state
against an external parasitic capacitance up to 100pF
that can drive DE high. After 10µs, the timer deactivates
M2 while M1 remains on, holding DE low against threestate leakages that can drive DE high. M1 remains on
12
until an external source overcomes the required input
current. At this time, the SR latch resets and M1 turns off.
When M1 turns off, DE reverts to a standard, highimpedance CMOS input. Whenever VCC drops below
1V, the hot-swap input is reset.
For RE, there is a complementary circuit employing two
PMOS devices pulling RE to VCC.

Hot-Swap Line Transient
The circuit of Figure 11 shows a typical offset termination used to guarantee a greater than 200mV offset
when a line is not driven (the 50pF represents the minimum parasitic capacitance that would exist in a typical
application). During a hot-swap event when the driver
is connected to the line and is powered up, the driver
must not cause the differential signal to drop below
200mV. Figures 12, 13, and 14 show the results of the
MAX3060E during power-up for three different V CC
ramp rates (0.1V/µs, 1V/µs, and 10V/µs). The photos
show the VCC ramp, the single-ended signal on each
side of the 100Ω termination, as well as the differential
signal across the termination.

±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against ESD
encountered during handling and assembly. The
MAX3060E family’s receiver inputs/driver outputs (A, B)
have extra protection against static electricity found in
normal operation. Maxim’s engineers developed stateof-the-art structures to protect these pins against
±15kV ESD without damage. After an ESD event, the
devices continue working without latchup.
ESD protection can be tested in several ways. The
receiver inputs are characterized for protection to the
following:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ±7kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)
• ±7kV using the Air-Gap Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2 (formerly IEC 801-2)

ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, methodology, and results.
Human Body Model
Figure 15a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
15b 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 device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically
refer to integrated circuits.
The main difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2. Because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 ESD test model (Figure 16), the
ESD withstand voltage measured to this standard is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. 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.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD testing uses a 200pF storage capacitor and zero-discharge resistance. It mimics
the stress caused by handling during manufacturing
and assembly. All pins (not just RS-485 inputs) require
this protection during manufacturing. Therefore, the
Machine Model is less relevant to the I/O ports than are
the Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2.

SOURCE
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(one-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to

a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance (96kΩ), allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on
one communication line. Any combination of these
devices and/or other RS-485 transceivers with a total of
32 unit loads or less can be connected to the line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX3060E and MAX3061E are slew-rate limited,
minimizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables. Figure 17 shows the driver output waveform and its Fourier analysis of a 25kHz

In general, a transmitter’s rise time relates directly to the
length of an unterminated stub, which can be driven with
only minor waveform reflections. The following equation
expresses this relationship conservatively:
Length = tRISE / (10 x 1.5ns/ft)
where tRISE is the transmitter’s rise time.
For example, the MAX3060E’s rise time is typically
1850ns, which results in excellent waveforms with a stub
length up to 123ft. A system can work well with longer
unterminated stubs, even with severe reflections, if the
waveform settles out before the UART samples them.

Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices typically
draw only 1nA of supply current.
RE and DE can be driven simultaneously. The parts are
guaranteed not to enter shutdown if RE is high and DE is
low for less than 50ns. If the inputs are in this state for at
least 600ns, the parts are guaranteed to enter shutdown.
Enable times t_ ZH and t_ ZL in the Switching Characteristics tables assume the part was not in a lowpower shutdown state. Enable times t_ZH(SHDN) and
t_ZL(SHDN) assume the parts were shut down. It takes
drivers and receivers longer to become enabled from
low-power shutdown mode (t_ZH(SHDN), t_ZL(SHDN))
than from driver/receiver-disable mode (t_ZH, t_ZL).

Driver Output Protection
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and
power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention. The first, a foldback current limit on the output
stage, provides protection after a 20µs delay against
short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage
range (see Typical Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal shutdown circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance state if the die temperature
becomes excessive.

Typical Applications
The MAX3060E family of transceivers are designed for
bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus
transmission lines. Figure 20 shows a typical network
application circuit.
To minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at
both ends in its characteristic impedance, and stub
lengths off the main line should be kept as short as
possible. The slew-rate-limited MAX3060E and
MAX3061E are more tolerant of imperfect termination.
