+5.0V, ±30kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe,
Hot-Swap, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
Features
The MAX14780E +5.0V, ±30kV ESD-protected, RS-485/
RS-422 transceiver features one driver and one receiver.
The device includes fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a
logic-high receiver output when receiver inputs are open
or shorted. The receiver outputs a logic-high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The MAX14780E includes a hot-swap capability
to eliminate false transitions on the bus during power-up
or hot insertion.
S +5.0V Operation
The MAX14780E features reduced slew-rate drivers that
minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 500kbps.
S Low-Current Shutdown Mode
The MAX14780E is ideal for half-duplex communications
and it draws 1.2mA of supply current when unloaded
or when fully loaded with the drivers disabled. The
MAX14780E has a 1/8-unit load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus.

MAX14780E
Pin Configuration
MAX14780E
+5.0V, ±30kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe,
Hot-Swap, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
Detailed Description
The MAX14780E high-speed transceiver for RS-485/
RS-422 communication contains one driver and one
receiver. This device features 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). The MAX14780E
also features a hot-swap capability allowing line insertion without erroneous data transfer (see the Hot-Swap
Capability section). The MAX14780E features reduced
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission up to 500kbps.
The MAX14780E is a half-duplex transceiver and operates from a single +5.0V supply. Drivers are output
short-circuit current limited. Thermal-shutdown circuitry
protects drivers against excessive power dissipation.
When activated, the thermal-shutdown circuitry places
the driver outputs into a high-impedance state.
Fail-Safe
The MAX14780E 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
input 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 threshold of the MAX14780E,
this results in a logic-high with a 50mV minimum noise
margin. Unlike previous fail-safe devices, the -50mV to
-200mV threshold complies with the ±200mV EIA/TIA485 standard.
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 and RE high. After the initial power-up sequence,
the pulldown circuit becomes transparent, resetting the
hot-swap tolerable input.
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, which also turns on M1.
Transistors M2, a 500μA 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

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 DE 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.

±30kV 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 output and receiver input of the MAX14780E
have extra protection against static electricity. Maxim’s
engineers have developed state-of-the-art structures to
protect these pins against ESD of ±30kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states:
normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After
an ESD event, the MAX14780E keeps working without
latchup or damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The transmitter output and receiver input of the MAX14780E are
characterized for protection to the following limits:
• ±30kV using the Human Body Model
• ±12kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 61000-4-2
• ±15kV using the Air-Gap Discharge method specified
in IEC 61000-4-2

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 MAX14780E
helps you design equipment to 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.

Applications Information
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(1-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up
to 32-unit loads. The MAX14780E has 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 the MAX14780E, as well
as other RS-485 transceivers with a total of 32-unit loads
or fewer, can be connected to the line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX14780E features reduced slew-rate drivers that
minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 500kbps.
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 2.8μA of supply current.
RE and DE can be driven simultaneously; the devices
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 700ns, the devices are guaranteed to enter
shutdown.
Figure 10d. IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Generator Current Waveform
Enable times tZH and tZL (see the Switching
Characteristics section) assume the devices were not in
a low-power shutdown state. Enable times tZH(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).
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
+175°C (typ).
Line Length
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to
4000ft. For line lengths greater than 4000ft, it may be
necessary to implement a line repeater.

Package Information
Typical Applications
The MAX14780E transceiver is designed for bidirectional
data communications on multipoint bus transmission
lines. Figure 11 shows a typical network applications
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. The slew-rate-limited
MAX14780E is more tolerant of imperfect termination.
