DESCRIPTION…
The SP3488 and the SP3489 are +3.3V low power quad line receivers that meet the
specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. These devices are pin-to-pin
compatible with Sipex's SP488 and SP489 devices as well as popular industry standards.
The SP3488 and SP3489 feature Sipex's BiCMOS process allowing low power operation
without sacrificing performance. The SP3488 and SP3489 meet the electrical specifications
of RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols up to 10Mbps under load. The SP3488 features a
common receiver enable control. The SP3489 provides independent receiver enable
controls for each pair of receivers. Both devices feature tri-state outputs and a -7V to +12V
common-mode input range. The receivers have a fail-safe feature which forces a logic "1"
output when receiver inputs are left floating.
These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device
at these or any other above those indicated in the operation
sections of the specifications below is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time
may affect reliability.
Pin 3 — RO1 — Receiver 1 Output — If Receiver 1 output is enabled, if RI1A > RI1B by
200mV, Receiver output is high. If Receiver 1
output is enabled, and if RI1A < RI1B by 200mV,
Receiver 1 output is low.
Pin 4 — EN — Receiver Output Enable. Please
refer to SP3488 Truth Table (1).
Pin 5 — RO2 — Receiver 2 Output — If Receiver 2 output is enabled, if RI2A > RI2B by
200mV, Receiver 2 output is high. If Receiver 2
output is enabled, and if RI2A < RI2B by
200mV, Receiver 2 output is low.

FEATURES...
The SP3488 and the SP3489 are +3.3V low
power quad line receivers that meet the
specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial
protocols. These devices are pin-to-pin
compatible with Sipex's SP488 and SP489
devices as well as popular industry standards.
The SP3488 and SP3489 devices feature
Sipex's BiCMOS process allowing low power
operation without sacrificing performance.
The RS-485 standard is ideal for multi-drop
applications or for long distance interfaces.
RS-485 allows up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers
to be connected to a data bus, making it an ideal
choice for multi-drop applications. Since the
cabling can be as long as 4,000 feet, RS-485
transceivers are equipped with a wide (-7V to
+12V) common mode range to accomodate
ground potential differences. Because the
RS-485 protocol is a differential interface, data
is virtually immune to noise in the transmission
line.
Receiver...
The SP3488 and the SP3489 receivers have
differential inputs with an input sensitivity
as low as +100mV. Input impedance of the
receivers is typically 15KΩ (12KΩ minimum).
A wide common mode range of -7V to +12V
allows for large ground potential differences
between systems.
The SP3488 features active HIGH and active
LOW common receiver enable controls. Refer
to SP3488 Truth Table in Table 1. The SP3489
provides independent, active high receiver
enable controls for each pair of receivers. Refer
to SP3489 Truth Table in Table 2. Both devices
feature tri-state outputs and a -7V to +12V
common-mode input range permitting a +7V
ground difference between devices on the
communication bus. The SP3488 and the SP3489
are equipped with a fail-safe feature which forces
a logic HIGH at the receiver output when the
input is left floating. The SP3488 and SP3489
receivers meet the electrical specifications of
RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocol data rates up
to 10Mbps under load.
