GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM488 and ADM489 are low power differential line
transceiver suitable for communication on multipoint bus transmission lines.
They are intended for balanced data transmission and comply
with both EIA Standards RS-485 and RS-422. Both products
contains a single differential line driver and a single differential
line receiver making them suitable for full duplex data transfer.
The ADM489 contains an additional receiver and driver enable
control.
The receiver contains a fail-safe feature that results in a logic
high output state if the inputs are unconnected (floating).
The ADM488/ADM489 is fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced mixed technology process combining low power CMOS
with fast switching bipolar technology.
The ADM488/ADM489 is fully specified over the industrial
temperature range and is available in DIP, SOIC and TSSOP
packages.
The input impedance is 12 kΩ, allowing 32 transceivers to be
connected on the bus.
The ADM488/ADM489 operates from a single +5 V ± 10%
power supply. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by output shorting is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit. This feature forces the driver output into a high
impedance state if during fault conditions a significant temperature increase is detected in the internal driver circuitry.

EFT TRANSIENT PROTECTION SCHEME
The ADM488/ADM489 uses protective clamping structures on
its inputs and outputs that clamp the voltage to a safe level and
dissipates the energy present in ESD (Electrostatic) and EFT
(Electrical Fast Transients) discharges.
Low electromagnetic emissions are achieved using slew limited
drivers, minimizing interference both conducted and radiated.
The ADM488/ADM489 can transmit at data rates up to
250 kbps.
FAST TRANSIENT BURST IMMUNITY (IEC1000-4-4)
IEC1000-4-4 (previously 801-4) covers electrical fast-transient/
burst (EFT) immunity. Electrical fast transients occur as a
result of arcing contacts in switches and relays. The tests simulate the interference generated when, for example, a power relay
disconnects an inductive load. A spark is generated due to the
well known back EMF effect. In fact, the spark consists of a
burst of sparks as the relay contacts separate. The voltage appearing on the line, therefore, consists of a burst of extremely
fast transient impulses. A similar effect occurs when switching
on fluorescent lights.
A typical application for the ADM488/ADM489 is illustrated in
Figure 19. This shows a full-duplex link where data may be
transferred at rates up to 250 kbps. A terminating resistor is
shown at both ends of the link. This termination is not critical
since the slew rate is controlled by the ADM488/ADM489 and
reflections are minimized.
The communications network may be extended to include
multipoint connections as shown in Figure 25. Up to 32 transceivers may be connected to the bus.

RADIATED IMMUNITY (IEC1000-4-3)
IEC1000-4-3 (previously IEC801-3) describes the measurement
method and defines the levels of immunity to radiated electromagnetic fields. It was originally intended to simulate the electromagnetic fields generated by portable radio transceivers or
any other device that generates continuous wave radiated electromagnetic energy. Its scope has since been broadened to include
spurious EM energy, which can be radiated from fluorescent
lights, thyristor drives, inductive loads, etc.

Figure 20. IEC1000-4-4 Fast Transient Waveform
Table III shows the peak voltages for each of the environments.
Testing for immunity involves irradiating the device with an EM
field. There are various methods of achieving this including use
of anechoic chamber, stripline cell, TEM cell and GTEM cell.
These consist essentially of two parallel plates with an electric
field developed between them. The device under test is placed
between the plates and exposed to the electric field. There are
three severity levels having field strengths ranging from 1 V to
10 V/m. Results are classified as follows:

A simplified circuit diagram of the actual EFT generator is
illustrated in Figure 21.
3. Temporary degradation or loss of function that requires
operator intervention or system reset when the interfering
signal is removed.
These transients are coupled onto the signal lines using an EFT
coupling clamp. The clamp is 1 m long and completely surrounds the cable, providing maximum coupling capacitance
(50 pF to 200 pF typ) between the clamp and the cable. High
energy transients are capacitively coupled onto the signal lines.
Fast rise times (5 ns) as specified by the standard result in very
effective coupling. This test is very severe since high voltages are
coupled onto the signal lines. The repetitive transients can often
cause problems, where single pulses do not. Destructive latchup
may be induced due to the high energy content of the transients.
Note that this stress is applied while the interface products are
powered up and are transmitting data. The EFT test applies
hundreds of pulses with higher energy than ESD. Worst case
transient current on an I-O line can be as high as 40 A.

CONDUCTED EMISSIONS
This is a measure of noise that is conducted onto the mains
power supply. The noise is measured using a LISN (Linc Impedance Stabilizing Network) and a spectrum analyzer. The test
setup is illustrated in Figure 23. The spectrum analyzer is set to
scan the spectrum from 0 MHz to 30 MHz. Figure 24 shows
that the level of conducted emissions from the ADM488/

order to minimize the level of electromagnetic interference
generated. Figure 22 shows an FFT plot when transmitting a
150 kHz data stream.

Figure 24. Conducted Emissions
As may be seen, the slew limiting attenuates the high frequency
components. EMI is therefore reduced, as are reflections due to
improperly terminated cables.
EN55022, CISPR22 defines the permitted limits of radiated
and conducted interference from Information Technology
Equipment (ITE).
The objective is to control the level of emissions, both conducted and radiated.
For ease of measurement and analysis, conducted emissions are
assumed to predominate below 30 MHz, while radiated emissions predominate above this frequency.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Differential Data Transmission
Cable and Data Rate
The transmission line of choice for RS-485 communications is a
twisted pair. Twisted pair cable tends to cancel common mode
noise and also causes cancellation of the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing through each wire, thereby reducing
the effective inductance of the pair.
Differential data transmission is used to reliably transmit data
at high rates over long distances and through noisy environments. Differential transmission nullifies the effects of ground
shifts and noise signals, which appear as common-mode voltages on the line. Two main standards are approved by the
Electronics Industries Association (EIA), which specify the
electrical characteristics of transceivers used in differential
data transmission.
The ADM488/ADM489 is designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint transmission lines. A typical application showing a multipoint transmission network is illustrated in
Figure 25. An RS-485 transmission line can have as many as
32 transceivers on the bus. Only one driver can transmit at
a particular time but multiple receivers may simultaneously
be enabled.
The RS-422 standard specifies data rates up to 10 MBaud and
line lengths up to 4000 ft. A single driver can drive a transmission line with up to 10 receivers.
In order to cater to true multipoint communications, the RS485 standard was defined. This standard meets or exceeds all
the requirements of RS-422 and also allows for up to 32 drivers
and 32 receivers to be connected to a single bus. An extended
common-mode range of –7 V to +12 V is defined. The most
significant difference between RS-422 and RS-485 is the fact
that the drivers may be disabled thereby allowing more than
one (32, in fact) to be connected to a single line. Only one
driver should be enabled at a time but the RS-485 standard
contains additional specifications to guarantee device safety in
the event of line contention.
As with any transmission line, it is important that reflections are
minimized. This may be achieved by terminating the extreme
ends of the line using resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of the line. Stub lengths of the main line should also be
kept as short as possible. A properly terminated transmission
line appears purely resistive to the driver.
