Maxim MAX1487CPA Low-power, slew-rate-limited rs-485/rs-422 transceiver Datasheet

19-0122; Rev 8; 10/03
Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited
RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487–MAX491, and
MAX1487 are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS422 communication. Each part contains one driver and one
receiver. The MAX483, MAX487, MAX488, and MAX489
feature reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and
reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables,
thus allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps.
The driver slew rates of the MAX481, MAX485, MAX490,
MAX491, and MAX1487 are not limited, allowing them to
transmit up to 2.5Mbps.
These transceivers draw between 120µA and 500µA of
supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled
drivers. Additionally, the MAX481, MAX483, and MAX487
have a low-current shutdown mode in which they consume
only 0.1µA. All parts operate from a single 5V supply.
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 the input is open circuit.
The MAX487 and MAX1487 feature quarter-unit-load
receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 MAX487/
MAX1487 transceivers on the bus. Full-duplex communications are obtained using the MAX488–MAX491, while
the MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487, and MAX1487
are designed for half-duplex applications.

Note 1: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device
ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: All typical specifications are given for VCC = 5V and TA = +25°C.
Note 3: Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V.
Note 4: Applies to peak current. See Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 5: The MAX481/MAX483/MAX487 are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less
than 50ns, the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 600ns, the parts are
guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See Low-Power Shutdown Mode section.

__________Applications Information
The MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491 and
MAX1487 are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS422 communications. The MAX481, MAX485, MAX490,
MAX491, and MAX1487 can transmit and receive at data
rates up to 2.5Mbps, while the MAX483, MAX487,
MAX488, and MAX489 are specified for data rates up to
250kbps. The MAX488–MAX491 are full-duplex transceivers while the MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487,
and MAX1487 are half-duplex. In addition, Driver Enable
(DE) and Receiver Enable (RE) pins are included on the
MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487, MAX489,
MAX491, and MAX1487. When disabled, the driver and
receiver outputs are high impedance.

MAX487/MAX1487:
128 Transceivers on the Bus
The 48kΩ, 1/4-unit-load receiver input impedance of the
MAX487 and MAX1487 allows up to 128 transceivers
on a bus, compared to the 1-unit load (12kΩ input
impedance) of standard RS-485 drivers (32 transceivers maximum). Any combination of MAX487/
MAX1487 and other RS-485 transceivers with a total of
32 unit loads or less can be put on the bus. The
MAX481/MAX483/MAX485 and MAX488–MAX491 have
standard 12kΩ Receiver Input impedance.

MAX483/MAX487/MAX488/MAX489:
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX483 and MAX487–MAX489 are slew-rate limited, minimizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables. Figure 12 shows the driver output waveform and its Fourier analysis of a
150kHz signal transmitted by a MAX481, MAX485,
MAX490, MAX491, or MAX1487. High-frequency har-

monics with large amplitudes are evident. Figure 13
shows the same information displayed for a MAX483,
MAX487, MAX488, or MAX489 transmitting under the
same conditions. Figure 13’s high-frequency harmonics
have much lower amplitudes, and the potential for EMI
is significantly reduced.

Low-Power Shutdown Mode
(MAX481/MAX483/MAX487)
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.
In shutdown, the devices typically draw only 0.1µA of
supply current.
RE and DE may 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.
For the MAX481, MAX483, and MAX487, the tZH and
tZL enable times assume the part was not in the lowpower shutdown state (the MAX485/MAX488–MAX491
and MAX1487 can not be shut down). The tZH(SHDN)
and tZL(SHDN) enable times assume the parts were shut
down (see Electrical Characteristics).
It takes the drivers and receivers longer to become
enabled from the low-power shutdown state
(tZH(SHDN), tZL(SHDN)) than from the operating mode
–—–
(tZH, tZL). (The parts are in operating mode if the RE ,
DE inputs equal a logical 0,1 or 1,1 or 0, 0.)

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
Many digital encoding schemes depend on the difference between the driver and receiver propagation
delay times. Typical propagation delays are shown in
Figures 15–18 using Figure 14’s test circuit.
The difference in receiver delay times, | tPLH - tPHL |, is
typically under 13ns for the MAX481, MAX485,
MAX490, MAX491, and MAX1487 and is typically less
than 100ns for the MAX483 and MAX487–MAX489.
The driver skew times are typically 5ns (10ns max) for
the MAX481, MAX485, MAX490, MAX491, and
MAX1487, and are typically 100ns (800ns max) for the
MAX483 and MAX487–MAX489.

Figures 19 and 20 show the system differential voltage
for the parts driving 4000 feet of 26AWG twisted-pair
wire at 110kHz into 120Ω loads.
Typical Applications
The MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487–MAX491, and
MAX1487 transceivers are designed for bidirectional data
communications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
Figures 21 and 22 show typical network applications
circuits. These parts can also be used as line
repeaters, with cable lengths longer than 4000 feet, as
shown in Figure 23.
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 MAX483 and MAX487–MAX489
are more tolerant of imperfect termination.
