DS36C279 Low Power EIA-RS-485 Transceiver with Sleep Mode General Description Features The DS36C279 is a low power differential bus/line transceiver designed to meet the requirements of RS-485 Standard for multipoint data transmission. In addition it is compatible with TIA/EIA-422-B. The sleep mode feature automatically puts the device in a power saving mode when both the driver and receiver are disabled.†† The device is ideal for use in power conscious applications where the device may be disabled for extended periods of time. The driver and receiver outputs feature TRI-STATE ® capability. The driver outputs operate over the entire common mode range of −7V to +12V. Bus contention or fault situations that cause excessive power dissipation within the device are handled by a thermal shutdown circuit, which forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state. The receiver incorporates a fail safe circuit which guarantees a high output state when the inputs are left open.† The DS36C279T is fully specified over the industrial temperature range (−40˚C to +85˚C). n 100% RS-485 compliant — Guaranteed RS-485 device interoperation n Low power CMOS design: ICC 500 µA max n Automatic sensing sleep mode — Reduces ICC to 10 µA maximum n Built-in power up/down glitch-free circuitry — Permits live transceiver intersection/displacement n SOIC packages n Industrial temperature range: −40˚C to +85˚C n On-board thermal shutdown circuitry — Prevents damage to the device in the event of excessive power dissipation n Wide common mode range: −7V to +12V n Receive open input fail-safe (Note 1) n 1⁄4 unit load (DS36C279): ≥ 128 nodes n 1⁄2 unit load (DS36C279T): ≥ 64 nodes n ESD (Human Body Model): ≥ 2 kV n Drop-in replacement for: — LTC485 MAX485 DS75176 DS3695 Connection and Logic Diagram 01205301 Order Number DS36C279M, DS36C279TM See NS Package Number M08A Truth Table DRIVER SECTION RE* DE DI DO/RI X H H H DO*/RI* L X H L L H X L X Z Z RECEIVER SECTION RE* DE RI-RI* RO L L ≥+0.2V H L L ≤−0.2V L H L X Z (Note 2) L L OPEN (Note 1) H Note 2: Device enters sleep mode if enable conditions are held > 600 ns Note 1: Non-terminated, open input only TRI-STATE ® is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation. © 2004 National Semiconductor Corporation DS012053 www.national.com DS36C279 Low Power EIA-RS-485 Transceiver with Sleep Mode July 2000 DS36C279 Low Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 3) Receiver Output Voltage If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the National Semiconductor Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

Device Pin Descriptions Pin No. Name 1 RO Receiver Output: When RE (Receiver Enable) is LOW, the receiver is enabled (ON), if DO/RI ≥ DO*/RI* by 200 mV, RO will be HIGH. If DO/RI ≤ DO*/RI* by 200 mV, RO will be LOW. Additionally RO will be HIGH for OPEN (Non-terminated) Inputs. Description 2 RE* Receiver Output Enable: When RE* is LOW the receiver output is enabled. When RE* is HIGH, the receiver output is in TRI-STATE (OFF). When RE* is HIGH and DE is LOW, the device will enter a low-current sleep mode after 600 ns. 3 DE Driver Output Enable: When DE is HIGH, the driver outputs are enabled. When DE is LOW, the driver outputs are in TRI-STATE (OFF). When RE* is HIGH and DE is LOW, the device will enter a low-current sleep mode after 600 ns. 4 DI Driver Input: When DE (Driver Enable) is HIGH, the driver is enabled, if DI is LOW, then DO/RI will be LOW and DO*/RI* will be HIGH. If DI is HIGH, then DO/RI is HIGH and DO*/RI* is LOW. 5 GND Ground Connection. 6 DO/RI Driver Output/Receiver Input, 485 Bus Pin. 7 DO*/RI* Driver Output/Receiver Input, 485 Bus Pin. 8 VCC www.national.com Positive Power Supply Connection: Recommended operating range for VCC is +4.75V to +5.25V. 8 The DS36C279 and DS36C280 have an additional feature which offers more advantages. The DS36C279 has an automatic sleep mode function for power conscious applications. The DS36C280 has a slew rate control for EMI conscious applications. Refer to the sleep mode and slew rate control portion of the application information section in the corresponding datasheet for more information on these features. A unit load for an RS-485 receiver is defined by the input current versus the input voltage curve. The gray shaded region is the defined operating range from −7V to +12V. The top border extending from −3V at 0 mA to +12V at +1 mA is defined as one unit load. Likewise, the bottom border extending from +5V at 0 mA to −7V at −0.8 mA is also defined as one unit load (see Figure 19). An RS-485 driver is capable of driving up to 32 unit loads. This allows up to 32 nodes on a single bus. Although sufficient for many applications, it is sometimes desirable to have even more nodes. For example, an aircraft that has 32 rows with 4 seats per row would benefit from having 128 nodes on one bus. This would allow signals to be transferred to and from each individual seat to 1 main station. Usually there is one or two less seats in the last row of the aircraft near the restrooms and food storage area. This frees the node for the main station. The DS36C278, the DS36C279, and the DS36C280 all have 1⁄2 unit load and 1⁄4 unit load (UL) options available. These devices will allow up to 64 nodes or 128 nodes guaranteed over temperature depending upon which option is selected. The 1⁄2 UL option is available in industrial temperature and the 1⁄4 UL is available in commercial temperature. First, for a 1⁄2 UL device the top and bottom borders shown in Figure 19 are scaled. Both 0 mA reference points at +5V and −3V stay the same. The other reference points are +12V at +0.5 mA for the top border and −7V at −0.4 mA for the bottom border (see Figure 19). Second, for a 1⁄4 UL device the top and bottom borders shown in Figure 19 are scaled also. Again, both 0 mA reference points at +5V and −3V stay the same. The other reference points are +12V at +0.25 mA for the top border and −7V at −0.2 mA for the bottom border (see Figure 19). The advantage of the 1⁄2 UL and 1⁄4 UL devices is the increased number of nodes on one bus. In a single master multi-slave type of application where the number of slaves exceeds 32, the DS36C278/279/280 may save in the cost of extra devices like repeaters, extra media like cable, and/or extra components like resistors. Sleep Mode The DS36C279 features an automatic shutdown mode that allows the device to save power when not transmitting data. Since the shutdown mode is automatic, no external components are required. It may be used as little or as much as the application requires. The more the feature is utilized, the more power it saves. The sleep mode is automatically entered when both the driver and receiver are disabled. This occurs when both the DE pin is asserted to a logic low and the RE* pin is asserted to a logic high. Once both pins are asserted the device will enter sleep mode typically in 50 ns. The DS36C279 is guaranteed to go into sleep mode within 600 ns after both pins are asserted. The device wakes up (comes out of sleep mode) when either the DE pin is asserted to a logic high and/or the RE* pin is asserted to a logic low. After the device enters sleep mode it will take longer for the device to wake up than it does for the device to enable from TRI-STATE. Refer to datasheet specifications tPSL and tPSH and compare with tPZL and tPZH for timing differences. The benefit of the DS36C279 is definitely its power savings. When active the device has a maximum ICC of 500 µA. When in sleep mode the device has a maximum ICC of only 10 µA, which is 50 times less power than when active. The ICC when the device is active is already very low but when in sleep mode the ICC is ultra low. 01205320 FIGURE 19.
