19-4098; Rev 0; 5/08
±80V Fault-Protected Full-Duplex
RS-485 Transceiver
Features
The MAX13448E full-duplex RS-485 transceiver features inputs and outputs fault protected up to ±80V
(with respect to ground). The device operates from a
+3.0V to +5.5V supply and features true fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a logic-high receiver output when
the receiver inputs are open or shorted. This enables all
receiver outputs on a terminated bus to output logichigh when all transmitters are disabled.
The MAX13448E features a slew-rate limited driver that
minimizes EMI and reduces reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data
transmission at data rates up to 500kbps with a +5V
supply, and 250kbps with a +3.3V supply.
o ±80V Fault Protection on the RS-485 I/O Ports
The MAX13448E includes a hot-swap capability to eliminate false transitions on the bus during power-up or hot
insertion. The driver and receiver feature active-high and
active-low enables, respectively, that can be connected
together externally to serve as a direction control.

Driver Output Voltage (Y, Z (Note 1)) ..................................±80V
Receiver Output Voltage (RO)....................-0.3V to (VCC + 0.3V)
Short-Circuit Duration (RO, A, B) ...............................Continuous
Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70°C)
14-Pin SO (derate 8.3mW/°C above +70°C)................667mW
Operating Temperature Range ...........................-40°C to +85°C
Junction Temperature ......................................................+150°C
Storage Temperature Range .............................-65°C to +150°C
Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) .................................+300°C
Note 1: If the RS-485 transmission lines are unterminated and a short to a voltage VSHT occurs at a remote point on the line, an active
local driver (with DI switching) may see higher voltage than VSHT due to inductive kickback at the driver. Terminating the line
with a resistor equal to its characteristic impedance minimizes this kickback effect.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2: Parameters are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by
design.
Note 3: All currents into the device are positive. All currents out of the device are negative. All voltages are referenced to device
ground, unless otherwise noted.
Note 4: ΔVOD and ΔVOC are the changes in VOD and VOC, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 5: The short-circuit output current applies to peak current just prior to foldback current limiting. The short-circuit foldback output
current applies during current limiting to allow a recover from bus contention.

±80V Fault-Protected Full-Duplex
RS-485 Transceiver
The MAX13448E ±80V fault-protected RS-485/RS-422
transceiver contains one driver and one receiver. This
device features fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a logichigh receiver output when the receiver inputs are open
or shorted, or when they are connected to a terminated
transmission line with all drivers disabled. The device
has a hot-swap input structure that prevents disturbances on the differential signal lines when a circuit
board is plugged into a hot backplane. All receiver
inputs and driver outputs are protected to ±8kV ESD
using the Human Body Model. The MAX13448E
features a reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes
EMI and reduces reflections caused by improperly
terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 500kbps.
Driver
The driver accepts a single-ended, logic-level input
(DI) and converts it to a differential, RS-485/RS-422
level output (A and B). Deasserting the driver enable
places the driver outputs (A and B) into a high-impedance state.
Receiver
The receiver accepts a differential, RS-485/RS-422
level input (A and B), and translates it to a singleended, logic-level output (RO). Deasserting the receiver enable places the receiver outputs (RO) into a
high-impedance state (see Table 1).
Low-Power Shutdown
Low-power shutdown is initiated by bringing DE low
and RE high. In shutdown, the device draws a maximum of 100µA of supply current.
The device is guaranteed to not enter shutdown if DE is
low and RE is high for 1µs. If the inputs are in this state
for at least 1ms, the device is guaranteed to enter shutdown. In the shutdown state, the driver outputs (A and
B) as well as the receiver output (RO) are in a highimpedance state.
±80V Fault Protection
In certain applications, such as industrial control, driver
outputs and receiver inputs of an RS-485 device sometimes experience common-mode voltages in excess of
the -7V to +12V range specified in the EIA/TIA-485
standard. In these applications, ordinary RS-485
devices (typical absolute maximum ratings of -8V to
+12.5V) may experience damage without the addition
of external protection devices.

High Impedance (Shutdown)
X = Don’t care; shutdown mode, driver, and receiver outputs are
high impedance.
To reduce system complexity and the need for external
protection, the driver outputs and receiver inputs of the
MAX13448E withstand voltage faults of up to ±80V with
respect to ground without damage (see the Absolute
Maximum Ratings section, Note 1). Protection is guaranteed regardless of whether the device is active, in
shutdown, or without power. Certain parasitic effects
present while driving an unterminated cable may cause
the voltage seen at driver outputs to exceed the
absolute maximum limit, while the DI input is switched
during a ±80V fault on the A or B input. Therefore, a
termination resistor is recommend in order to maximize
the overvoltage fault protection while the DI input is
being switched. If the DI input does not change state
while the fault voltage is present, the MAX13448E will
withstand up the ±80V on the RS-485 inputs, regardless of the presence of a termination resistor. While the
MAX13448E is not damaged by up to ±80V commonmode voltages, the RO, Y, and Z outputs will be in an
indeterminate state if the common-mode voltage
exceeds -7V to +12V.
True Fail-Safe
The MAX13448E guarantees 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. With the receiver thresholds of the
MAX13448E, this results in a logic-high with a 50mV
minimum noise margin. The -50mV to -200mV threshold
complies with the ±200mV EIA/TIA-485 standard.

±8kV 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
MAX13448E have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-of-theart structures to protect these pins against ESD of ±8kV
without damage. The ESD structures withstand high
ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and
powered down. After an ESD event, the MAX13448E
keeps working without latchup or damage. ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX13448E are
characterized for protection to the following limits:
• ±8kV using the Human Body Model
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 8a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
8b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a

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 immediate protection against short
circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range
(see the Typical Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal-shutdown circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance state if the die temperature
exceeds +160°C (typ).
Hot-Swap Capability
Hot-Swap Inputs
When circuit boards are inserted into a powered backplane, 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 logicoutput drivers are high impedance and are unable to
drive the DE input of the device 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 circuitboard 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. After the initial power-up sequence, the pulldown
circuit becomes transparent, resetting the hot-swap
tolerable input.

When the data rates for RS-485 are high relative to its
cable lengths, the system is subject to proper transmission line design. In most cases, a single, controlledimpedance cable or trace should be used and should be
properly terminated on both ends with the characteristic
impedance of the cable/trace. RS-485 transceivers
should be connected to the cable/traces with minimum
length wires to prevent stubs. Star configurations and
improperly terminated cables can cause data loss. Refer
to the Applications section of the Maxim website or to
TIA/EIA publication TSB89 for further information.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
Figure 9. Simplified Structure of the Driver Enable Pin (DE)
Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
The enable inputs feature hot-swap capability. At the
input there are two NMOS devices, M1 and M2 (Figure
9). When VCC ramps from zero, an internal 7µs timer
turns on M2 and sets the SR latch that also turns on M1.
Transistor M2, a 1.5mA current sink, and M1, a 100µA
current sink, pull DE to GND through a 5kΩ 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 7µs, the timer deactivates M2 while
M1 remains on, holding DE low against three-state leakages that can drive DE high. 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, DE reverts to a standard, high-impedance
CMOS input.
The MAX13448E features reduced slew-rate drivers
that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data
transmission up to 500kbps.
Line Length
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
publishes the document TSB-89: Application
Guidelines for TIA/EIA-485-A that is a good reference
for determining maximum data rate vs. line length.
Typical Applications
The MAX13448E transceivers are designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus transmission lines. Figure 10 shows a typical network application
circuit. 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.
Applications Information
256 Transceivers on the Bus
The RS-485 standard specifies the load each receiver
places on the bus in terms of unit loads. An RS-485
compliant transmitter can drive 32 one-unit loads when
used with a 120Ω cable that is terminated on both ends
over a common-mode range of -7V to +12V. The
______________________________________________________________________________________
13
MAX13448E
MAX13448E is specified as 1/8 unit loads. This means
a compliant transmitter can drive up to 256 MAX13448E
devices. Reducing the common mode and/or changing
the characteristic impedance of the cable changes the
maximum number of receivers that can be used. Refer
to the TIA/EIA-485 specification for further details.
