GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM3483E/ADM3486E/ADM3488E/ADM3490E/
ADM3491E are 3.3 V, low power data transceivers with
±15 kV ESD protection suitable for full- and half-duplex
communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. They
are designed for balanced data transmission, and they
comply with TIA/EIA standards RS485 and RS-422. The
ADM3483E/ADM3486E are half-duplex transceivers that
share differential lines and have separate enable inputs for
the driver and receiver. The full-duplex ADM3488E/
ADM3490E/ADM3491E transceivers have dedicated
differential line driver outputs and receiver inputs. The
ADM3491E also features separate enable inputs for the
driver and receiver.
The devices have a 12 kΩ receiver input impedance,
which allows up to 32 transceivers on a bus. Because only
one driver should be enabled at any time, the output of a
disabled or powered-down driver is tristated to avoid
overloading the bus.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(continued from Page 1)
The driver outputs of the ADM3483E/ADM3486E/
ADM3488E are slew rate limited, in order to reduce EMI
and data errors caused by reflections from improperly
terminated buses. The receiver has a fail-safe feature that
ensures a logic high output when the inputs are floating.

The transceivers are put into shutdown mode by bringing the RE high and the DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 80 ns, the parts are guaranteed not to
enter shutdown. If the parts are in this state for 300 ns or more, the parts are guaranteed to enter shutdown.

RO is low.

REReceiver Output Enable. A low level enables the receiver output. A high
level places it in a high impedance state. If RE is high and DE is low, the
device enters a low power shutdown mode.

Driver Output Enable. A high level enables the driver differential A and B
outputs. A low level places it in a high impedance state. If
is low, the device enters a low power shutdown mode.
4 3 5 DI
Driver Input. With a half-duplex part when the driver is enabled, a logic low
on DI forces A low and B high; a logic high on DI forces A high and B low.
With a full-duplex part when the driver is enabled, a logic low on DI forces Y
low and Z high; a logic high on DI forces Y high and Z low.

The ADM34xxE are low power transceivers for RS-485 and RS422
communications. The ADM3483E/ADM3488E operate at data
rates up to 250 kbps. The ADM3486E operates at data rates up
to 2.5 Mbps, and the ADM3490E/ADM3491E transmit at up to
12 Mbps. The ADM3488E/ADM3490E/ADM3491E are fullduplex transceivers, and the ADM3483E/ADM3486E are half
RE
duplex. Driver enable (DE) and receiver enable (
) pins are
included on the ADM3483E/ADM3486E/ADM3491E. When
disabled, the driver and receiver outputs are high impedance.

LOW POWER SHUTDOWN MODE—ADM3483E/
ADM3486E / ADM3491E
The ADM3483E/ADM3486E/ADM3491E are put into a low
power shutdown mode by bringing both
RE
high and DE low.
The devices do not shut down unless both the driver and the
receiver are disabled (high impedance). In shutdown mode, the
devices typically draw less than 1 μA of supply current. For
these devices, the t
and the t
PSH
was in the low power shutdown mode; the t
enable times assume the part
PSL
and the t
PZH
PZL
enable times assume the receiver or the driver was disabled, but
the part was not shut down.
DRIVER OUTPUT PROTECTION
The ADM34xxE family implements two ways to prevent
excessive output current and power dissipation caused by faults
or by bus contention. A current limit on the output stage
provides immediate protection against short circuits over the
whole common-mode voltage range (see the Typical
Performance Characteristics section). In addition, a thermal
shutdown circuit forces the driver outputs into a high
impedance state if the die temperature rises excessively.
PROPAGATION DELAY
Figure 11, Figure 14, Figure 26, and Figure 27 show the typical
propagation delays. Skew time is simply the difference between
the low-to-high and the high-to-low propagation delays. Small
driver/receiver skew times help maintain a symmetrical markspace ratio (50% duty cycle).
– t
The receiver skew time, |t
PRHL
|, is under 10 ns (20 ns for
PRHL
the ADM3483E/ADM3488E). The driver skew time is 8 ns for
the ADM3490E/ADM3491E, 12 ns for the ADM3486E, and
typically under 50 ns for the ADM3483E/ADM3488E.
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, Figure 34 illustrates an
example of a line repeater.

±15 kV ESD PROTECTION
Two coupling methods are used for ESD testing: contact discharge and air-gap discharge. Contact discharge
calls for a direct connection to the unit being tested. Airgap discharge uses a higher test voltage but does not make
direct contact with the test unit. With air-gap discharge,
the discharge gun is moved toward the unit under test,
developing an arc across the air gap, therefore the term airgap discharge. This method is influenced by humidity,
temperature, barometric pressure, distance, and rate of
closure of the discharge gun. The contact discharge
method, while less realistic, is more repeatable and is
gaining acceptance and preference over the airgap method.
Although very little energy is contained within an ESD pulse,
the extremely fast rise time, coupled with high voltages, can
cause failures in unprotected semiconductors. Catastrophic
destruction can occur immediately as a result of arcing or
heating. Even if catastrophic failure does not occur immediately,
the device can suffer from parametric degradation that can
result in degraded performance. The cumulative effects of
continuous exposure can eventually lead to complete failure.
Input/output lines are particularly vulnerable to ESD damage.
Simply touching or connecting an input/output cable can result
in a static discharge that can damage or completely destroy the
interface product connected to the input/output port. It is
extremely important, therefore, to have high levels of ESD
protection on the input/output lines.
The ESD discharge can induce latch-up in the device under test,
so it is important that ESD testing on the input/output pins be
carried out while device power is applied. This type of testing is
more representative of a real-world input/output discharge,
which occurs when the equipment is operating normally.
The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of the ADM34xxE
family are characterized for protection to a ±15 kV limit using
the human body model.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The ADM3483E/ADM3486E/ADM3491E transceivers are
designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint
bus transmission lines. The ADM3488E/ADM3490E full-duplex
transceiver is designed to be used in a daisy-chain network
topology or in a point-to-point application (see
ADM3483E/ADM3486E are half-duplex RS-485 transceivers
that can be used in a multidrop bus configuration, as shown in
Figure 31. The ADM3488E/ADM3490E/ADM3491E can also
be used as a line repeater, for use with cable lengths longer than
4000 feet, as shown in
line must be terminated at both ends in its characteristic
impedance, and stub lengths off the main line should be kept as
short as possible.

HUMAN BODY MODEL
Figure 30 shows the human body model and the current waveform it generates when discharged into a low impedance. This
model consists of a 100 pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage
of interest, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5 kΩ resistor.
