ADM3082/ADM3085/ADM3088
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM3082/ADM3085/ADM3088 are high-speed
RS-485/RS-422 transceivers consisting of one driver and one
receiver per package. The devices feature fail-safe operation,
ensuring a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open-circuit or short-circuit. This guarantees that
the receiver output will be high if all the transmitters on a
terminated bus are disabled (high-impedance).
The ADM3082 has a slew-rate limited driver to minimize
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce reflections
caused by incorrectly terminated cables. This allows errorfree transmission at data rates up to 115kbps.
The ADM3085 offers a higher slew rate allowing data rates
up to 500kbps, while the ADM3088 has a driver whose slew
rate is not limited, allowing data rates up to 10Mbps.
All devices in the family feature ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and high receiver input impedance (1/8 unit load), allowing up to 256 transceivers on
the bus. The devices have low current drain of 375µA unloaded, or fully loaded with the drivers disabled, and feature an ultra-low power (1nA) shutdown mode.

ADM3082/ADM3085/ADM3088
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The ADM3082, ADM3085 and ADM3088 are highspeed RS-485/RS-422 transceivers offering enhanced performance over industry-standard devices All devices in the
family contain one driver and one receiver, but there is a
choice of performance options. The devices feature failsafe operation, which means that a logic-high receiver output is guaranteed when the receiver inputs are open-circuit
or short-circuit, or when they are connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled (see the
section on Fail-Safe Operation).
SLEW RATE CONTROL
The ADM3082 features a controlled slew-rate driver that
minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce
reflections caused by incorrectly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission rates up to 115kbps (see
the section on Reduced EMI and Reflections).
The ADM3085 offers a higher limit on driver output
slew-rate, allowing data transmission rates up to 500kbps.
The driver slew rate of the ADM3088 is not limited, offering data transmission rates up to 10Mbps.
RECEIVER INPUT FILTERING
The receivers of all devices incorporate input hysteresis.
In addition, when operating in 115kbps or 500kbps mode,
the receivers of the ADM3082 and ADM3085 incorporate
input filtering. This enhances noise immunity with differential signals that have very slow rise and fall times, but it
does increase propagation delay by 20%.
HALF-/FULL-DUPLEX OPERATION
The ADM3082, ADM3085, and ADM3088 are dedicated
half-duplex devices (driver outputs internally linked to receiver inputs). Figure 29 shows a typical half-duplex connection between two devices.
THREE-STATE BUS CONNECTION
All the devices have a Driver Enable pin (DE) that enables the driver outputs when taken high or puts the driver
outputs into a high-impedance state when taken low. This
allows several driver outputs to be connected to an
RS-422/RS-485 bus.
Similarly, all the devices have a (active-low) Receiver Enable pin (RE). Taking this low enables the receiver, while
taking it high puts the receiver outputs into a high-impedance state. This allows several receiver outputs to be connected to a serial data bus.
HIGH INPUT IMPEDANCE
The input impedance of the devices is 96kV, which is 8
times higher than the standard RS-485 load of 12kV. A
standard driver can driver 32 standard loads, so up to 256
ADM308X receivers, or a combination of ADM308X and
other devices up to 32 unit loads, may be connected to an
RS-422/RS485 bus driven by a single driver.
SHUTDOWN MODE
All the devices have a low power shutdown mode that is
enabled by taking RE high and DE low.
If shutdown mode is not used, the fact that DE is activehigh and RE is active-low offers a convenient way of
switching the device between transmit and receive, by tying DE and RE together. This is useful, for example, in
applications using half duplex operation and where several
receiver outputs are connected to a serial bus.
The device is guaranteed not to enter shutdown mode if
DE and RE are driven in this way. If DE is low and RE is
high for less than 50ns the device will not enter shutdown.
If DE is low and RE is high for greater than 600ns, the
device is guaranteed to enter shutdown.
FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The ADM3082/ADM3085/ADM3088 offer true fail-safe
operation while remaining fully compliant with the
±200mV EIA/TIA-485 standard. A logic-high receiver
output is guaranteed when the receiver inputs are shorted
together or open-circuit, or when they are connected to a
terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled.
This is done by setting the receiver threshold between
-50mV and –200mV. If the differential receiver input voltage (A–B) is greater than or equal to –50mV, RO is logic
high. If A–B is less than or equal to –200mV, RO is logic
low. In the case of a terminated bus with all transmitters
disabled, the receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled
to 0V by ADM308X family, which results in a logic high
with a 50mV minimum noise margin.
ENHANCED ESD PROTECTION
All Analog Devices parts incorporate protection against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) to protect the devices during handling, assembly and normal operation. In addition,
the ADM308X family has enhanced ESD protection up to
±15kV on the receiver inputs and driver outputs (A, B) to
protect against severe operational conditions such as line
transients, connection and disconnection.

CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM3082/ADM3085/ADM3088 incorporate two
protection mechanisms to guard the drivers against shortcircuits, bus contention or other fault conditions. The first
is a foldback current-limited output stage that protects the
driver against short-circuits over the entire common-mode
voltage range. The second is a thermal shutdown circuit
that puts the driver outputs into a high-impedance state if
the die temperature exceeds a safe limit.

REDUCED EMI AND REFLECTIONS
The ADM3082 and ADM3085 incorporate slew-rating limiting in the drivers. This reduces reflections due to incorrect cable termination and minimizes electromagnetic
interference (EMI).
Figures 9 to 11 show driver output waveforms and Fourier
analyses of 20kHz signals for the three different slew-rate
settings. It can be seen that the harmonic content is greatly
reduced for the ADM3085 and still further for the
ADM3082 (Figures 10 and 9 respectively).

Figure 11. ADM3088 Driver Output Waveform and FFT Plot
The length of an unterminated stub that can be driven
with only minor reflections depends on the rise time of
the transmitter. A conservative estimate for this is given
by the following equation:
L (metres) = t
where t
sult by 3.28 for answer in feet).
For example, the rise time of the ADM3082 is typically
1320ns, which results in acceptable waveforms with stub
lengths up to 27 metres. This is not the ultimate limit on
unterminated stub length, as a system can still work if the
waveformis allowed to settle before sampling the data.
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to
4000 feet (1219 metres). Driver output and receiver output waveforms for the three slew rate settings, driving a
4000 foot cable, are shown in figures 12 to 14.
