GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM488 and ADM489 are low-power differential line
transceivers suitable for communication on multipoint bus
transmission lines.
They are intended for balanced data transmission and comply
with both EIA Standards RS-485 and RS-422. Both products
contain a single differential line driver and a single differential
line receiver, making them suitable for full duplex data transfer.
The ADM489 contains an additional receiver and driver
enable control.
The input impedance is 12 kΩ, allowing 32 transceivers to be
connected on the bus.
The ADM488/ADM489 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 ADM488/ADM489 is fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced
mixed technology process combining low power CMOS with
fast switching bipolar technology.
The ADM488/ADM489 is fully specified over the industrial temperature range and is available in DIP, SOIC and
TSSOP packages.

ADM488/ADM489
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADM488/ADM489 is a ruggedized RS-485 transceiver that
operates from a single 5 V supply.
It contains protection against radiated and conducted interference.
It is ideally suited for operation in electrically harsh environments or where cables may be plugged/unplugged. It is also
immune to high RF field strengths without special shielding
precautions. It 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 full duplex data transmission.
The input impedance on the ADM488/ADM489 is 12 kΩ,
allowing up to 32 transceivers on the differential bus.
The ADM488/ADM489 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).
A high level of robustness is achieved using internal protection
circuitry, eliminating the need for external protection components such as tranzorbs or surge suppressors.
Low electromagnetic emissions are achieved using slew limited
drivers, minimizing interference both conducted and radiated.
The ADM488/ADM489 can transmit at data rates up to
250 kbps.
A typical application for the ADM488/ADM489 is illustrated in
Figure 10. This shows a full-duplex link where data may be
transferred at rates up to 250 kbps. A terminating resistor is
shown at both ends of the link. This termination is not critical
since the slew rate is controlled by the ADM488/ADM489 and
reflections are minimized.
The communications network may be extended to include
multipoint connections as shown in Figure 16. Up to 32 transceivers may be connected to the bus.

EFT TRANSIENT PROTECTION SCHEME
The ADM488/ADM489 uses protective clamping structures on
its inputs and outputs that clamp the voltage to a safe level and
dissipates the energy present in ESD (Electrostatic) and EFT
(Electrical Fast Transients) discharges.
FAST TRANSIENT BURST IMMUNITY (IEC1000-4-4)
IEC1000-4-4 (previously 801-4) covers electrical fast-transient/
burst (EFT) immunity. Electrical fast transients occur as a result of
arcing contacts in switches and relays. The tests simulate the
interference generated when, for example, a power relay disconnects an inductive load. A spark is generated due to the well known
back EMF effect. In fact, the spark consists of a burst of sparks
as the relay contacts separate. The voltage appearing on the line,
therefore, consists of a burst of extremely fast transient impulses. A
similar effect occurs when switching on fluorescent lights.

The fast transient burst test, defined in IEC1000-4-4, simulates
this arcing and its waveform is illustrated in Figure 11. It
consists of a burst of 2.5 kHz to 5 kHz transients repeating at
300 ms intervals. It is specified for both power and data lines.
Four severity levels are defined in terms of an open-circuit voltage as a function of installation environment. The installation
environments are defined as:

Test results are classified according to the following:
1. Normal performance within specification limits.
2. Temporary degradation or loss of performance that is selfrecoverable.
3. Temporary degradation or loss of function or performance
that requires operator intervention or system reset.
4. Degradation or loss of function that is not recoverable due
to damage.
The ADM488/ADM489 has been tested under worst case conditions using unshielded cables, and meets Classification 2 at
severity Level 4. Data transmission during the transient condition is corrupted, but it may be resumed immediately following
the EFT event without user intervention.

A simplified circuit diagram of the actual EFT generator is
illustrated in Figure 12.
These transients are coupled onto the signal lines using an EFT
coupling clamp. The clamp is 1 m long and completely surrounds the cable, providing maximum coupling capacitance
(50 pF to 200 pF typ) between the clamp and the cable. High
energy transients are capacitively coupled onto the signal lines.
Fast rise times (5 ns) as specified by the standard result in very
effective coupling. This test is very severe since high voltages are
coupled onto the signal lines. The repetitive transients can often
cause problems, where single pulses do not. Destructive latchup
may be induced due to the high energy content of the transients.
Note that this stress is applied while the interface products are
powered up and are transmitting data. The EFT test applies
hundreds of pulses with higher energy than ESD. Worst-case
transient current on an I-O line can be as high as 40 A.
RADIATED IMMUNITY (IEC1000-4-3)
IEC1000-4-3 (previously IEC801-3) describes the measurement
method and defines the levels of immunity to radiated electromagnetic fields. It was originally intended to simulate the
electromagnetic fields generated by portable radio transceivers
or any other device that generates continuous wave radiated electromagnetic energy. Its scope has since been broadened to include
spurious EM energy, which can be radiated from fluorescent
lights, thyristor drives, inductive loads, etc.
Testing for immunity involves irradiating the device with an EM
field. There are various methods of achieving this including use
of anechoic chamber, stripline cell, TEM cell and GTEM cell.
These consist essentially of two parallel plates with an electric
field developed between them. The device under test is placed
between the plates and exposed to the electric field. There are
three severity levels having field strengths ranging from 1 V to
10 V/m. Results are classified as follows:
1. Normal Operation.
2. Temporary Degradation or loss of function that is selfrecoverable when the interfering signal is removed.
3. Temporary degradation or loss of function that requires
operator intervention or system reset when the interfering
signal is removed.
4. Degradation or loss of function that is not recoverable due
to damage.

EN55022, CISPR22 defines the permitted limits of radiated
and conducted interference from Information Technology
Equipment (ITE).
The objective is to control the level of emissions, both conducted and radiated.
For ease of measurement and analysis, conducted emissions are
assumed to predominate below 30 MHz, while radiated emissions predominate above this frequency.
CONDUCTED EMISSIONS
This is a measure of noise that is conducted onto the mains
power supply. The noise is measured using a LISN (Linc
Impedance Stabilizing Network) and a spectrum analyzer. The
test setup is illustrated in Figure 14. The spectrum analyzer is

that the level of conducted emissions from the ADM488/
ADM489 is well below the allowable limits.

As may be seen, the slew limiting attenuates the high frequency
components. EMI is therefore reduced, as are reflections due to
improperly terminated cables.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Differential Data Transmission
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, which appear as common-mode voltages on the line. Two main standards are approved by the
Electronics Industries Association (EIA), which specify the
electrical characteristics of transceivers used in differential
data transmission.
The RS-422 standard specifies data rates up to 10 MBaud and
line lengths up to 4000 ft. A single driver can drive a transmission line with up to 10 receivers.
In order to cater to true multipoint communications, the RS-485
standard was defined. This standard meets or exceeds all the
requirements of RS-422 and also allows for up to 32 drivers
and 32 receivers to be connected to a single bus. An extended
common-mode range of –7 V to +12 V is defined. The most
significant difference between RS-422 and RS-485 is the fact
that the drivers may 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.
Table V. Comparison of RS-422 and RS-485 Interface Standards
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 also causes cancellation of the magnetic fields generated by the current flowing through each wire, thereby reducing
the effective inductance of the pair.
The ADM488/ADM489 is designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint transmission lines. A typical application
showing a multipoint transmission network is illustrated in
Figure 16. An RS-485 transmission line can have as many as
32 transceivers on the bus. Only one driver can transmit at
a particular time but multiple receivers may simultaneously
be enabled.
As with any transmission line, it is important that reflections are
minimized. This may 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.
