GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM483E is a 5 V, low power data transceiver with ±15 kV
ESD protection suitable for half-duplex communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. The ADM483E is designed
for balanced data transmission and complies with TIA/EIA
Standards RS-485 and RS-422, which allow up to 32 transceivers
on a bus.
The ADM483E has a low current shutdown mode in which it
nsumes only 0.1 μA.
co
Because only one driver is enabled at any time, the output of a
dis
abled or power-down driver is three-stated to avoid
overloading the bus.
Drivers are short-circuit current-limited and are protected
a
gainst excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown
circuitry that places their outputs into a high impedance state.
The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic
high output if the input is open circuit.
The ADM483E is fully specified over the industrial temperature
nges and is available in 8-lead SOIC_N packages.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADM483E is a robust RS-485 transceiver that operates
from a single 5 V supply.
It is ideally suited for operation in electrically harsh environm
ents or where cables may be plugged and unplugged. It is also
immune to high RF field strengths without special shielding
precautions. The ADM483E is intended for balanced data
transmission and complies with both EIA Standards RS-485 and
RS-422. It contains a differential line driver and a differential
line receiver; it is suitable for half-duplex data transmission
because the driver and receiver share the same differential pins.
The input impedance on the ADM483E is 12 kΩ, allowing up to
32 t
ransceivers on the differential bus.
The ADM483E operates from a single 5 V ± 10% power supply.
E
xcessive 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.
The receiver has a fail-safe feature that results in a logic high
o
utput state if the inputs are unconnected (floating).
A high level of robustness is achieved using internal protection
ci
rcuitry, eliminating the need for external protection components
such as transorbs or surge suppressors.
Low electromagnetic emissions are achieved using slew limited
ivers, minimizing interference both conducted and radiated.
dr
The ADM483E can transmit at data rates up to 250 kbps.
A typical application for the ADM483E is illustrated in
igure shows a half-duplex link where data may be
This f
transferred at rates up to 250 kbps. A terminating resistor is
shown at both ends of the link. This termination is not critical
because the slew rate is controlled by the ADM483E and
reflections are minimized.
The communications network can be extended to include
m
ultipoint connections as shown in Figure 26. Up to 32
tra
nsceivers can be connected to the bus.

ESD TRANSIENT PROTECTION SCHEME
The ADM483E uses protective clamping structures on its inputs
and outputs that clamp the voltage to a safe level and dissipate
the energy present in ESD (electrostatic discharge).
The protection structure achieves ESD protection up to ±15 kV
rding to the Human Body Model.

ESD TESTING
Two coupling me t hods are us e d for ESD test i ng : contact
discharge and air-gap discharge. Contact discharge calls for a
direct connection to the unit being tested. Air-gap discharge
uses a higher test voltage but does not make direct contact with
the unit under test. With air-gap discharge, the discharge gun is
moved toward the unit under test, developing an arc across the
air gap. This method is influenced by humidity, temperature,
barometric pressure, distance, and rate of closure of the discharge
gun. The contact discharge method, though less realistic, is
more repeatable and is gaining acceptance and preference over
the air-gap method.
Although very little energy is contained within an ESD pulse,
t
he extremely fast rise time, coupled with high voltages, can
cause failures in unprotected semiconductors. Catastrophic
destruction may occur immediately as a result of arcing or
heating. Even if catastrophic failure does not occur immediately,
the device may suffer from parametric degradation, which can
result in degraded performance. The cumulative effects of
continuous exposure may eventually lead to complete failure.

I/O lines are particularly vulnerable to ESD damage. Simply

It is, therefore, extremely important to have high levels of ESD
prote
ction on the I/O lines.
It is possible that the ESD discharge could induce latch-up in
t
he device under test. Therefore, it is important that ESD testing
on the I/O pins be carried out while device power is applied.
This type of testing is more representative of a real-world I/O
discharge where the equipment is operating normally when the
discharge occurs.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIFFERENTIAL DATA TRANSMISSION
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 that appear as common-mode voltages on the
line. There are two main standards approved by the Electronics
Industries Association (EIA) that specify the electrical characteristics of transceivers used in differential data transmission.
The RS-422 standard specifies data rates up to 10 MBaud and
l
ine lengths up to 4000 feet. A single driver can drive a transmission
line with up to 10 receivers.
To accommodate true multipoint communications, the RS-485
andard was defined. This standard meets or exceeds all the
st
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 can 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.
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 cancels the magnetic fields generated by the
current flowing through each wire, thereby reducing the
effective inductance of the pair.
A typical application showing a multipoint transmission
twork is shown in Figure 26. An RS-485 transmission line can
ne
ve as many as 32 transceivers on the bus. Only one driver can
ha
transmit at a particular time, but multiple receivers can be
enabled simultaneously.
