GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 are differential line transceivers
suitable for high speed half- and full-duplex data communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. They are designed for balanced
data transmission and comply with EIA Standards RS-485 and
RS-422. The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853 are halfduplex transceivers that share differential lines and have separate
enable inputs for the driver and receiver. The full-duplex
ADM4854/ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 transceivers have
dedicated differential line driver outputs and receiver inputs.
The parts have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance, which
allows up to 256 transceivers on one bus. Because only one driver
should be enabled at any time, the output of a disabled or powered-down driver is three-stated to avoid overloading the bus.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature, which ensures
a logic high output level when the inputs are open or shorted.
This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a known state

before communication begins and when communication ends.
The driver outputs are slew-rate limited to reduce EMI and data
errors caused by reflections from improperly terminated buses.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by output
shorting is prevented with a thermal shutdown circuit.
The parts are fully specified over the commercial and industrial
temperature ranges and are available in 8-lead SOIC, LFCSP
(ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853), and MSOP
(ADM4850 only) packages.

The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 are high speed RS-485/
RS-422 transceivers offering enhanced performance over
industry-standard devices. All devices in the family contain
one driver and one receiver, but offer a choice of performance
options. The devices feature true fail-safe 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 Fail-Safe Operation section).
SLEW-RATE CONTROL
The ADM4850 and ADM4854 feature a controlled slew-rate
driver that minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and
reduces reflections caused by incorrectly terminated cables,
allowing error-free data transmission rates up to 115 kbps. The
ADM4851 and ADM4855 offer a higher limit on driver output
slew rate, allowing data transmission rates up to 500 kbps. The
driver slew rates of the ADM4852 and ADM4856 and the
ADM4853 and ADM4857 are not limited, offering data
transmission rates up to 2.5 Mbps and 10 Mbps, respectively.
RECEIVER INPUT FILTERING
The receivers of all the devices incorporate input hysteresis. In
addition, the receivers of the 115 kbps ADM4850 and ADM4854
and the 500 kbps ADM4851 and ADM4855 incorporate input
filtering. This enhances noise immunity with differential signals
that have very slow rise and fall times. However, it causes the
propagation delay to increase by 20%.
HALF-/FULL-DUPLEX OPERATION
Half-duplex operation implies that the transceiver can transmit
and receive, but it can do only one of these at any given time. However, with full-duplex operation, the transceiver can transmit and
receive simultaneously. The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/
ADM4853 are half-duplex devices in which the driver and the
receiver share differential bus terminals. The ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 are full-duplex devices that
have dedicated driver output and receiver input pins. Figure 28
and Figure 29 show typical half- and full-duplex topologies.
The input impedance of the ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/
ADM4853/ADM4854/ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 receivers
is 96 kΩ, which is eight times higher than the standard RS-485
unit load of 12 kΩ. This 96 kΩ impedance enables a standard
driver to drive 32 unit loads or to be connected to 256 ADM4850/
ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/ADM4855/
ADM4856/ADM4857 receivers. An RS-485 bus, driven by a
single standard driver, can be connected to a combination of
ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 devices and standard unit
load receivers, up to an equivalent of 32 standard unit loads.
THREE-STATE BUS CONNECTION
The half-duplex parts (ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/
ADM4853) have a driver enable (DE) pin that enables the
driver outputs when taken high, or puts the driver outputs
into a high impedance state when taken low. Similarly, the
half-duplex devices have an active low receiver enable (
Taking this pin low enables the receiver, whereas taking it high
puts the receiver outputs into a high impedance state. This
allows several driver outputs to be connected to an RS-485 bus.
Note that only one driver should be enabled at a time, but that
many receivers can be enabled.

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 offer true fail-safe operation
while remaining fully compliant with the ±200 mV EIA/TIA-485
standard. A logic high receiver output is generated 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 −30 mV and −200 mV. If the differential receiver input
voltage (A − B) is greater than or equal to −30 mV, RO is logic
high. If (A − B) is less than or equal to −200 mV, RO is logic low.
In the case of a terminated bus with all transmitters disabled,
the differential input voltage of the receiver is pulled to 0 V by
the internal circuitry of the ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/
ADM4853/ADM4854/ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857, which
results in a logic high with 30 mV minimum noise margin.
CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 incorporate two protection
mechanisms to guard the drivers against short circuits, bus contention, or other fault conditions. The first is a current limiting
output stage, which protects the driver against short circuits over
the entire common-mode voltage range by limiting the output
current to approximately 70 mA. Under extreme fault conditions
where the current limit is not effective, a thermal shutdown circuit
puts the driver outputs into a high impedance state if the die
temperature exceeds 150°C, and does not turn them back on
until the temperature falls to 130°C.
