19-1474; Rev 0; 4/99
3.3V-Powered, ±15kV ESD-Protected, 12Mbps and
Slew-Rate-Limited True RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
Devices in the MAX3483E family (MAX3483E/MAX3485E/
MAX3486E/MAX3488E/MAX3490E/MAX3491E) are
±15kV ESD-protected, +3.3V, low-power transceivers for
RS-485 and RS-422 communications. Each device contains one driver and one receiver. The MAX3483E and
MAX3488E feature slew-rate-limited drivers that minimize
EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission at
data rates up to 250kbps. The partially slew-rate-limited
MAX3486E transmits up to 2.5Mbps. The MAX3485E,
MAX3490E, and MAX3491E transmit at up to 12Mbps.
All devices feature enhanced electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver
inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 AirGap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact
Discharge, and ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
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 both
inputs are open circuit.
The MAX3488E, MAX3490E, and MAX3491E feature
full-duplex communication, while the MAX3483E,
MAX3485E, and MAX3486E are designed for halfduplex communication.

Note 1: ∆VOD and ∆VOC are the changes in VOD and VOC, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 2: Measured on |tPLH (Y) - tPHL (Y)| and |tPLH (Z) - tPHL (Z)|.
Note 3: The transceivers are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 80ns, the
devices are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 300ns, the devices are guaranteed
to have entered shutdown. See Low-Power Shutdown Mode section.

RO
Receiver Output. If A > B by 200mV, RO will be high; if A < B by 200mV,
RO will be low.
3
RE
Receiver Output Enable. RO is enabled when RE is low; RO is high impedance when RE is high. If RE is high and DE is low, the device will enter a
low-power shutdown mode.
3
—
4
DE
Driver Output Enable. The driver outputs are enabled by bringing DE high.
They are high impedance when DE is low. If RE is high and DE is low, the
device will enter a low-power shutdown mode. If the driver outputs are
enabled, the parts function as line drivers. While they are high impedance,
they function as line receivers if RE is low.

DI
Driver Input. A low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high. Similarly, a
high on DI forces output Y high and output Z low.

___________Applications Information
Devices with Receiver/Driver Enable
(MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E/MAX3491E)
The MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E/MAX3488E/
MAX3490E/MAX3491E are low-power transceivers for
RS-485 and RS-422 communications. The MAX3483E
and MAX3488E can transmit and receive at data rates
up to 250kbps, the MAX3486E at up to 2.5Mbps, and the
MAX3485E/MAX3490E/MAX3491E at up to 12Mbps. The
MAX3488E/MAX3490E/MAX3491E are full-duplex transceivers, while the MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E are
half-duplex. Driver Enable (DE) and Receiver Enable
(RE) pins are included on the MAX3483E/MAX3485E/
MAX3486E/MAX3491E. When disabled, the driver and
receiver outputs are high impedance.

Reduced EMI and Reflections
(MAX3483E/MAX3486E/MAX3488E)
The MAX3483E/MAX3488E are slew-rate limited, minimizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly terminated cables. Figure 13 shows the driver
output waveform of a MAX3485E/MAX3490E/MAX3491E
transmitting a 125kHz signal, as well as the Fourier
analysis of that waveform. High-frequency harmonics
with large amplitudes are evident. Figure 14 shows the
same information, but for the slew-rate-limited
MAX3483E/MAX3488E transmitting the same signal. The
high-frequency harmonics have much lower amplitudes,
and the potential for EMI is significantly reduced.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
(MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E/MAX3491E)
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 (high
impedance). In shutdown, the devices typically draw
only 2nA of supply current.
For these devices, the t PSH and t PSL enable times
assume the part was in the low-power shutdown mode;
the tPZH and tPZL enable times assume the receiver or
driver was disabled, but the part was not shut down.

±15kV 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 MAX3483E
family of devices have extra protection against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-ofthe-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of
±15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand
high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and
powered down. After an ESD event, Maxim’s E versions
keep working without latchup or damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the
transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product
family are characterized for protection to the following
limits:
1) ±15kV using the Human Body Model
Propagation Delay
Figures 15–18 show the typical propagation delays. Skew
time is simply the difference between the low-to-high and
high-to-low propagation delay. Small driver/receiver
skew times help maintain a symmetrical mark-space
ratio (50% duty cycle).
The receiver skew time, |tPRLH - tPRHL|, is under 10ns
(20ns for the MAX3483E/MAX3488E). The driver skew
times are 8ns for the MAX3485E/MAX3490E/MAX3491E,
12ns for the MAX3486E, and typically under 50ns for the
MAX3483E/MAX3488E.
Line Length vs. Data Rate
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to
4000 feet. For line lengths greater than 4000 feet, see
Figure 21 for an example of a line repeater.
Figures 19 and 20 show the system differential voltage
for parts driving 4000 feet of 26AWG twisted-pair wire
at 125kHz into 120Ω loads.
For faster data rate transmission, please consult the factory.

in IEC 1000-4-2
3) ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2’s Air-Gap method.
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 22a shows the Human Body Model and Figure
22b shows the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment; it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3483E family
of devices helps you design equipment that meets
Level 4 (the highest level) of IEC 1000-4-2, without the
need for additional ESD-protection components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is
lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally
lower than that measured using the Human Body
Model. Figure 23a shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model, and
Figure 23b shows the current waveform for the ±8kV
IEC 1000-4-2, Level 4 ESD contact-discharge test.

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.

The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The contact-discharge method connects
the probe to the device before the probe is energized.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a
200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its 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.

Typical Applications
The MAX3483E/MAX3485E/MAX3486E/MAX3488E/
MAX3490E/MAX3491E transceivers are designed for
bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus
transmission lines. Figures 24 and 25 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 21.
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 MAX3483E/MAX3488E
and the partially slew-rate-limited MAX3486E are more
tolerant of imperfect termination.
