GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM483E is a robust, low power differential line transceiver suitable for communication on multipoint bus transmission lines. Internal protection against electrostatic discharge
(ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT) and electromagnetic
immunity (EMI) allows operation in electrically harsh environments. ESD protection on the I-O lines meets ±15 kV when
tested using the Human Body Model. EFT protection meets
± 2 kV in accordance with IEC1000-4-4, while EMI immunity is
in excess of 10 V/m meeting IEC1000-4-3.
The level of unwanted emissions is also carefully controlled
using slew limiting on the driver outputs. This reduces reflections with improperly terminated cables and also minimizes
electromagnetic interference. The controlled slew rate limits the
data rate to 250 kbps.
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
and is suitable for half duplex data transmission, as the driver
and receiver share the same differential pins.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and
reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its
use, nor for any infringements of patents or other rights of third parties
which may result from its use. No license is granted by implication or
otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
The input impedance on the ADM483E is 12 kΩ, allowing up
to 32 transceivers on the bus.
The ADM483E operates from a single +5 V ± 10% power supply. Excessive 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 contains a fail-safe feature that results in a logic
high output state if the inputs are unconnected (floating).
The ADM483E is fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced mixed
technology process combining low power CMOS with robust
bipolar technology.
It is fully specified over the industrial temperature range and is
available in 8-lead DIP and SOIC packages.
*Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability.
PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin Mnemonic Function
1ROReceiver Output. When enabled if A > B by
200 mV, then RO = High. If A < B by
200 mV, then RO = Low.
2
REReceiver Output Enable. A low level enables
the receiver output, RO. A high level places it
in a high impedance state.
3DEDriver Output Enable. A high level enables
the driver differential outputs, A and B. A
low level places it in a high impedance state.
4DIDriver Input. When the driver is enabled a
logic Low on DI forces A low and B high
while a logic High on DI forces A high and B
low.
