GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM4850−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−ADM4853 are half-duplex
transceivers, which share differential lines and have separate
enable inputs for the driver and receiver. The full-duplex
ADM4854−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. Since 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 and LFCSP
packages.

Figure 5. Driver Voltage Measurement over Common-Mode Voltage Range
The ADM4850–ADM4857 are high speed RS-485/RS-422
transceivers offering enhanced performance over industrystandard 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/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/
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/ADM4856 and the ADM4853/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/ADM485 and
the 500 kbps ADM4851/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 only do one of these at any given time.
However, with full-duplex operation, the transceiver can
transmit and receive simultaneously. The ADM4850–ADM4853
are half-duplex devices in which the driver and receiver share
differential bus terminals. The ADM4854–ADM4857 are fullduplex devices, which have dedicated driver output and receiver
input pins. Figure 26
duplex topologies.
The input impedance of the ADM485x receivers is 96 kΩ,
which is 8 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 be connected to 256 ADM485x receivers.
An RS-485 bus, driven by a single standard driver, can be
connected to a combination of ADM485x and standard unit
load receivers, up to an equivalent of 32 standard unit loads.
THREE-STATE BUS CONNECTION
The half-duplex parts 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 halfduplex devices have an active-low receiver enable (
Taking this pin low enables the receiver, while 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, while
many receivers can be enabled.

) pin.
SHUTDOWN MODE
The ADM4850–ADM4853 have a low power shutdown mode,
which is enabled by taking
mode is not used, the fact that DE is active high and
low offers a convenient way of switching the device between
transmit and receive by tying DE and

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION
The ADM4850–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
receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled to 0 V by the
ADM485x’s internal circuitry, which results in a logic high with
30 mV minimum noise margin.
CURRENT LIMIT AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADM485x incorporates 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.
The devices are guaranteed not to enter shutdown mode if DE
