UM3483E, UM3486E
3.3V-Powered, ±15kV ESD-Protected,
and Slew-Rate-Limited True RS-485 Transceivers
General Description
The UM3483E, UM3486E are +15 KV ESD protected, slew-rate limited, ultra lower differential line transceivers which provide full
RS485 compatibility while operating from single 3.3V supply. Each part contains one driver and one receiver, which is designed for
data transmission with extended common mode range (-7V to 12V). The UM3483E features slew-rate limited driver that minimizes
EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission at data rate up to 500kbps,
while partially slew-rate limited UM3486E transmits up to 2.5Mbps.
All devices feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to
±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that
places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if
both inputs are open, shorted or idle.
Both parts have power up/down glitch free driver outputs permit live insertion or removal of transceiver from/to data bus. The
CMOS design offers significant power savings without sacrificing ruggedness against overload or ESD damage. Typical quiescent
current is only 500 μA while operating and 1 μA in shutdown.
The UM3483E, UM3486E are fully specified over the commercial an extended industrial temperature range and are available in 8-pin
and DIP packages.

Applications Information
The UM3483E /UM3486E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 communications. The UM3483E can transmit and receive at data
rates up to 500kbps, and the UM3486E at up to 2.5Mbps. The UM3483E /UM3486E are half-duplex. Driver Enable (DE) and
Receiver Enable (/RE) pins are included on the UM3483E/ UM3486E. When disabled, the driver and receiver outputs are high
impedance.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The UM3483E is slew-rate limited, minimizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly terminated cables. Figure 11
shows the output waveform of the slew-rate-limited UM3483E transmitting a 125kHz signal, as well as the Fourier analysis of that
waveform. The high-frequency harmonics have much lower amplitudes, and the potential for EMI is significantly reduced.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
A low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both /RE high and DE low. The devices will not shut down unless both the
driver and receiver are disabled (high impedance). In shutdown, the devices typically draw only 1μA of supply current. For these
devices, the tPSH and tPSL enable times assume the part was in the low-power shutdown mode; the tPZH and tPZL enable times
assume the receiver or driver was disabled, but the part was not shut down.

Driver Output Protection
Excessive output current and power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention are prevented by two mechanisms. A foldback
current limit on the output stage provides immediate protection against short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range
(see Typical Operating Characteristics). In addition, a thermal shutdown circuit forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance state
if the die temperature rises excessively.
Propagation Delay
Figures 12 and 13 show the typical propagation delays. Skew time is simply the difference between the low-to-high and high-to-low
propagation delay. Small driver/receiver skew times help maintain a symmetrical mark-space ratio (50% duty cycle).
The receiver skew time, |tPRLH - tPRHL|, is under 10ns (20ns for the UM3483E). The driver skew times 12ns for the UM3486E, and
typically under 50ns for the UM3483E.
Line Length vs. Data Rate
The RS-485 standard covers line lengths up to 4000 feet. Figure 13 shows the system differential voltage for
parts driving 4000 feet of 26AWG twisted-pair wire at 125kHz into 120ȍ loads.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Union 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 UM3483E family of devices have extra protection
against static electricity. Union’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, Union’s E versions keep working without
latchup or damage. ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family
are characterized for protection to the following limits:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
2) ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap method.
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 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of
interest, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kȍ ҏresistor.
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 UM3483E family devices help you design equipment that meets Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without the
need for additional ESD-protection components. The major 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 model. Hence, the ESD
withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured using the Human Body Model. Figure 16a shows
the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and Figure 16b shows the current waveform for the ±8kV IEC 1000-4-2, Level 4 ESD contact-discharge
test. The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a charged probe.

Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its 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.
Typical Applications
The UM3483E, UM3486E transceivers are designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
Figures 1 shows typical network applications circuits.
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 UM3483E and the partially slew-rate-limited UM3486E are more tolerant
of imperfect termination.
