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. ________________________Applications Low-Power RS-485 Transceivers Low-Power RS-422 Transceivers Level Translators __Next Generation Device Features ♦ For Fault-Tolerant Applications MAX3430: ±80V Fault-Protected, Fail-Safe, 1/4 Unit Load, +3.3V, RS-485 Transceiver MAX3440E–MAX3444E: ±15kV ESD-Protected, ±60V Fault-Protected, 10Mbps, Fail-Safe, RS-485/J1708 Transceivers ♦ For Space-Constrained Applications MAX3460–MAX3464: +5V, Fail-Safe, 20Mbps, Profibus RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers MAX3362: +3.3V, High-Speed, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver in a SOT23 Package MAX3280E–MAX3284E: ±15kV ESD-Protected, 52Mbps, +3V to +5.5V, SOT23, RS-485/RS-422, True Fail-Safe Receivers MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295: 20Mbps, +3.3V, SOT23, RS-855/RS-422 Transmitters ♦ For Multiple Transceiver Applications MAX3030E–MAX3033E: ±15kV ESD-Protected, +3.3V, Quad RS-422 Transmitters ♦ For Fail-Safe Applications MAX3080–MAX3089: Fail-Safe, High-Speed (10Mbps), Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers ♦ For Low-Voltage Applications MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E/MAX3488E/ MAX3490E/MAX3491E: +3.3V Powered, ±15kV ESD-Protected, 12Mbps, Slew-Rate-Limited, True RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers Transceivers for EMI-Sensitive Applications Industrial-Control Local Area Networks Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. ______________________________________________________________Selection Table PART NUMBER HALF/FULL DUPLEX DATA RATE (Mbps) SLEW-RATE LIMITED LOW-POWER SHUTDOWN RECEIVER/ DRIVER ENABLE QUIESCENT CURRENT (µA) NUMBER OF TRANSMITTERS ON BUS PIN COUNT MAX481 Half 2.5 No Yes Yes 300 32 8 MAX483 Half 0.25 Yes Yes Yes 120 32 8 MAX485 Half 2.5 No No Yes 300 32 8 MAX487 Half 0.25 Yes Yes Yes 120 128 8 MAX488 Full 0.25 Yes No No 120 32 8 MAX489 Full 0.25 Yes No Yes 120 32 14 MAX490 Full 2.5 No No No 300 32 8 MAX491 Full 2.5 No No Yes 300 32 14 MAX1487 Half 2.5 No No Yes 230 128 8 ________________________________________________________________ Maxim Integrated Products For pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact Maxim/Dallas Direct! at 1-888-629-4642, or visit Maxim’s website at www.maxim-ic.com. 1 MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487 General Description MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487 Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Supply Voltage (VCC) .............................................................12V Control Input Voltage (RE, DE)...................-0.5V to (VCC + 0.5V) Driver Input Voltage (DI).............................-0.5V to (VCC + 0.5V) Driver Output Voltage (A, B)...................................-8V to +12.5V Receiver Input Voltage (A, B).................................-8V to +12.5V Receiver Output Voltage (RO).....................-0.5V to (VCC +0.5V) Continuous Power Dissipation (TA = +70°C) 8-Pin Plastic DIP (derate 9.09mW/°C above +70°C) ....727mW 14-Pin Plastic DIP (derate 10.00mW/°C above +70°C) ..800mW 8-Pin SO (derate 5.88mW/°C above +70°C).................471mW 14-Pin SO (derate 8.33mW/°C above +70°C)...............667mW 8-Pin µMAX (derate 4.1mW/°C above +70°C) ..............830mW 8-Pin CERDIP (derate 8.00mW/°C above +70°C).........640mW 14-Pin CERDIP (derate 9.09mW/°C above +70°C).......727mW Operating Temperature Ranges MAX4_ _C_ _/MAX1487C_ A ...............................0°C to +70°C MAX4_ _E_ _/MAX1487E_ A .............................-40°C to +85°C MAX4_ _MJ_/MAX1487MJA ...........................-55°C to +125°C Storage Temperature Range .............................-65°C to +160°C Lead Temperature (soldering, 10sec) .............................+300°C Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.

MAX489/MAX491 Pin Configuration and Typical Operating Circuit __________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. 8 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. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers Y R TEST POINT RECEIVER OUTPUT CRL 15pF VOD R 1kΩ VCC S1 1kΩ VOC S2 Z Figure 4.

Driver Output Waveform and FFT Plot of MAX481/ MAX485/MAX490/MAX491/MAX1487 Transmitting a 150kHz Signal 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.) 0Hz 5MHz 500kHz/div Figure 13. Driver Output Waveform and FFT Plot of MAX483/ MAX487–MAX489 Transmitting a 150kHz Signal 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 11 MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487 10dB/div MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487 Low-Power, Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers 100pF Z TTL IN tR, tF < 6ns B R D Y R = 54Ω RECEIVER OUT A 100pF Figure 14.

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. 5V DI 5V DI 0V 0V 1V VY-VZ 1V VY-VZ 0V 0V -1V -1V 5V RO 5V RO 0V 0V 2µs/div 2µs/div Figure 19.
