GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM485 is a differential line transceiver suitable for high
speed bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus
transmission lines. It is designed for balanced data transmission
and complies with EIA standards RS-485 and RS-422. The part
contains a differential line driver and a differential line receiver.
Both the driver and the receiver can be enabled independently.
When disabled, the outputs are three-stated.
The ADM485 operates from a single 5 V power supply.
xcessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by
E
output shorting is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit. If
during fault conditions, a significant temperature increase is
detected in the internal driver circuitry, this feature forces the
driver output into a high impedance state.
Up to 32 transceivers can be connected simultaneously on a
bu
s, but only one driver should be enabled at any time. It is
important, therefore, that the remaining disabled drivers do not
load the bus. To ensure this, the ADM485 driver features high
output impedance when disabled and when powered down,
which minimizes the loading effect when the transceiver is not
being used. The high impedance driver output is maintained
over the common-mode voltage range of −7 V to +12 V.

The receiver contains a fail-safe feature that results in a logic
high output state if the inputs are unconnected (floating).
The ADM485 is fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced mixed
t
echnology process combining low power CMOS with fast
switching bipolar technology. All inputs and outputs contain
protection against ESD; all driver outputs feature high source
and sink current capability. An epitaxial layer is used to guard
against latch-up.
The ADM485 features extremely fast switching speeds. Minimal
dr
iver propagation delays permit transmission at data rates up
to 5 Mbps while low skew minimizes EMI interference.
The part is fully specified over the commercial and industrial
t
emperature range and is available in 8-lead PDIP, 8-lead SOIC,
and small footprint, 8-lead MSOP packages.

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 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
line len
gths up to 4000 ft. A single driver can drive a transmission
line with up to 10 receivers.
To cater to true multipoint communications, the RS-485
andard was defined. This standard meets or exceeds all the
st
requirements of RS-422 but also allows for up to 32 drivers and
32 receivers to be connected to a single bus. An extended commonmode range of −7 V to +12 V is defined. The most significant
difference between the RS-422 standard and the RS-485 standard 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 causes cancellation of the magnetic fields generated
by the current flowing through each wire, thereby reducing the
effective inductance of the pair.
The ADM485 is designed for bidirectional data communications
n multipoint transmission lines. A typical application showing
o
a multipoint transmission network is illustrated in
An RS-48
on the bus. Only one driver can transmit at a particular time,
but multiple receivers can be enabled simultaneously.
5 transmission line can have as many as 32 transceivers

Figure 30. Typical RS-485 Network
As with any transmission line, it is important that reflections be
minimized. This can be achieved by terminating the extreme ends
of the line using resistors equal to the characteristic impedance of
the line. Stub lengths of the main line should also be kept as
short as possible. A properly terminated transmission line appears
purely resistive to the driver.

THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM485 contains thermal shutdown circuitry that protects
the part from excessive power dissipation during fault conditions.
Shorting the driver outputs to a low impedance source can result
in high driver currents. The thermal sensing circuitry detects
the increase in die temperature and disables the driver outputs.
The thermal sensing circuitry is designed to disable the driver
outputs when a die temperature of 150°C is reached. As the
device cools, the drivers are re-enabled at 140°C.
PROPAGATION DELAY
The ADM485 features very low propagation delay, ensuring
maximum baud rate operation. The driver is well balanced,
ensuring distortion free transmission.
Another important specification is a measure of the skew
een the complementary outputs. Excessive skew impairs
betw
the noise immunity of the system and increases the amount of
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
RECEIVER OPEN CIRCUIT, FAIL-SAFE
The receiver input includes a fail-safe feature that guarantees a
logic high on the receiver when the inputs are open circuit or
floating.
