DS481 Low Power RS-485/RS-422 Multipoint Transceiver with Sleep Mode General Description Features The DS481 is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. The device contains one driver and one receiver. The drivers slew rate allows for operation up to 2.0 Mbps (see Applications Information section). The transceiver draws 200 µA of supply current when unloaded or 0.2 µA when in the automatic sleep mode. Sleep mode is activated by inactivity on the enables (DE and RE (Note 1)). Holding DE = L and RE (Note 1) = H for greater than 600 ns will enable the sleep mode. The DS481 operates from a single +5V supply. The driver is short-circuit current limited and is protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into TRI-STATE ® (High Impedance state) under fault conditions. The driver guarantees a minimum of 1.5V differential output voltage with maximum loading across the common mode range (VOD3). The receiver has a failsafe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The DS481 is available in surface mount and DIP packages and is characterized for Industrial and Commercial temperature range operation. n n n n n n n Connection and Logic Diagram Truth Table n n n n n n n Meets TIA/EIA RS-485 multipoint standard Sleep mode reduces ICC to 0.2 µA Guaranteed full load output voltage (V OD3) Low quiescent current: 200 µA typ −7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range TRI-STATE outputs on driver and receiver AC performance: — Driver transition time: 25 ns typ — Driver propagation delay: 40 ns typ — Driver skew: 1 ns typ — Receiver propagation delay: 200 ns typ — Receiver skew: 20 ns typ Half-duplex flow through pinout Operates from a single 5V supply Allows up to 128 transceivers on the bus (DS481N/M) Allows up to 64 tranceivers on the bus (DS481TN/M) Current-limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload protection Industrial temperature range operation Pin and functional compatible with MAX481C and MAX481E DRIVER SECTION RE (Note 1) DE DI A B X H H H L X H L L H X L X Z Z (Note 2) RECEIVER SECTION DS012919-1 *Note: Non Terminated, Open Input only Order Number Temp.

They are not meant to imply that the devices should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation. Note 4: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground except VOD1/2/3and VID. Note 5: All typicals are given for: VCC = +5.0V, TA = +25˚C. Note 6: ∆|VOD| and ∆|VOC| are changes in magnitude of V OD and VOC respectively, that occur when the input changes state. Note 7: IIN2 includes the receiver input current and driver TRI-STATE leakage current. Note 8: Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V or enabled (DE = H) with no load. Note 9: f = 1 MHz, tr and tf ≤ 6 ns, ZO = 50Ω. Note 10: CL includes jig and probe capacitance. Note 11: fmax is the guaranteed data rate for 50 ft of twisted pair cable. f max may be conservatively determined from the ratio of driver transition time (tr) to the data rate unit interval (1/fmax). Using a 10% ratio yields fmax = (0.1)/50 ns = 2.0 Mb/s. Higher data rates may be supported by allowing larger ratios. Note 12: For enable from sleep mode delays DE = L and RE (Note 1) = H for greater than 600 ns prior to test (device is in sleep mode). 3 www.national.com Parameter Measurement Information DS012919-2 FIGURE 1.

Entering Sleep Mode Conditions (modes and exit parameters shown) TABLE 1. Device Pin Descriptions Pin No. Name Description 1 RO Receiver Output: When RE (Receiver Enable) is LOW, the receiver is enabled (ON), if DO/RI ≥ DO (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) by 200 mV, RO will be HIGH. If DO/RI ≤ DO (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) by 200 mV, RO will be LOW. Additionally RO will be HIGH for OPEN (Non-terminated) Inputs. 2 RE (Note 1) Receiver Output Enable: When RE (Note 1) is LOW the receiver output is enabled. When RE (Note 1) is HIGH, the receiver output is in TRI-STATE (OFF). When RE (Note 1) 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 (Note 1) 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 (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) will be HIGH. If DI is HIGH, then DO/RI is HIGH and DO (Note 1)/RI (Note 1) is LOW. 5 GND Ground Connection. 6 DO/RI Driver Output/Receiver Input, 485 Bus Pin. 7 DO (Note 1) /RI (Note 1) Driver Output/Receiver Input, 485 Bus Pin. 8 VCC Positive Power Supply Connection: Recommended operating range for VCC is +4.75V to +5.25V. 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 15 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 15 ). Second, for a 1⁄4 UL device the top and bottom borders shown in Figure 15 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 15 ). 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 Unit Load 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 15 ). 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. The DS481 has 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 www.national.com 6 Unit Load Sleep Mode (Continued) The DS481 features an automatic sleep mode that allows the device to save power when not transmitting data. Since the sleep 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 (Note 1) pin is asserted to a logic high. Once both pins are asserted the device will enter sleep mode after 50 ns. The DS481 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 (Note 1) 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 t PZH for timing differences. The benefit of the DS481 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 ICCis ultra low. multi-slave type of application where the number of slaves exceeds 32, the DS481 may save in the cost of extra devices like repeaters, extra media like cable, and/or extra components like resistors.
