The SP490E is a low power differential line driver/receiver meeting RS-485 and RS-422
standards up to 10Mbps. The SP491E is identical to the SP490E with the addition of driver
and receiver tri-state enable lines. Both products feature ±200mV receiver input sensitivity,
over wide common mode range. The SP490E is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and 8-pin NSOIC
packages for operation over the commercial and industrial temperature ranges. The SP491E
is available in 14-pin DIP and 14-pin NSOIC packages for operation over the commercial and
industrial temperature ranges.

The SP490E and SP491E are full-duplex differential transceivers that meet the requirements
of RS-485 and RS-422. Fabricated with a Sipex
proprietary BiCMOS process, both products
require a fraction of the power of older bipolar
designs.
THEORY OF OPERATION
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 accommodate
ground potential differences. Because RS-485
is a differential interface, data is virtually
immune to noise in the transmission line.
Drivers
The drivers for both the SP490E and SP491E
have differential outputs. The typical voltage
output swing with no load will be 0 volts to +5
volts. With worst case loading of 54Ω across the
differential outputs, the driver can maintain
greater than 1.5V voltage levels.
Receivers
The receivers for both the SP490E and SP491E
have differential inputs with an input sensitivity
as low as ±200mV. 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 receivers for both the
SP490E and SP491E are equipped with the
fail-safe feature. Fail-safe guarantees that
the receiver output will be in a high state when
the input is left unconnected.
The receiver of the SP491E has a receiver
enable control line which is active low. A logic
low on REB (pin 3) of the SP491E will enable
the differential receiver. A logic high on REB
(pin 3) of the SP491E will tri-state the receiver.
ESD Tolerance
The SP490E/SP491E devices incorporate
ruggedized ESD cells on all driver output
and receiver input pins. The ESD structure is
improved over our previous family for more
rugged applications and environments sensitive
to electro-static discharges and associated
transients. The improved ESD tolerance is at
least ±15kV without damage nor latch-up.
The driver of the SP491E has a driver enable
control line which is active high. A logic high on
DE (pin 4) of the SP491E will enable the differential driver outputs. A logic low on DE (pin 4)
of the SP491E will tri-state the driver outputs.
The SP490E does not have a driver enable.
There are different methods of ESD testing
applied:
a) MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7
b) IEC1000-4-2 Air-Discharge
c) IEC1000-4-2 Direct Contact
The Human Body Model has been the generally
accepted ESD testing method for semiconductors.
This method is also specified in MIL-STD-883,
Method 3015.7 for ESD testing. The premise of
this ESD test is to simulate the human body’s
potential to store electro-static energy and
discharge it to an integrated circuit. The
simulation is performed by using a test model as
shown in Figure 9. This method will test the IC’s
capability to withstand an ESD transient during
normal handling such as in manufacturing areas
where the ICs tend to be handled frequently.

equipment that are accessible to personnel during
normal usage. The transceiver IC receives most
of the ESD current when the ESD source is
applied to the connector pins. The test circuit for
IEC1000-4-2 is shown on Figure 10. There are
two methods within IEC1000-4-2, the Air
Discharge method and the Contact Discharge
method.
With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD voltage
is applied to the equipment under test (EUT)
through air. This simulates an electrically charged

Device
Under
Test
The IEC-1000-4-2, formerly IEC801-2, is
15A
generally used for testing ESD on equipment and
systems. For system manufacturers, they must
guarantee a certain amount of ESD protection
since the system itself is exposed to the outside
environment and human presence. The premise
with IEC1000-4-2 is that the system is required
to withstand an amount of static electricity when
ESD is applied to points and surfaces of the
person ready to connect a cable onto the rear of
the system only to find an unpleasant zap just
before the person touches the back panel. The
high energy potential on the person discharges
through an arcing path to the rear panel of the
system before he or she even touches the system.
This energy, whether discharged directly or
through air, is predominantly a function of the
discharge current rather than the discharge
voltage. Variables with an air discharge such as
approach speed of the object carrying the ESD
potential to the system and humidity will tend to
change the discharge current. For example, the
rise time of the discharge current varies with the
approach speed.
The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD
current directly to the EUT. This method was
devised to reduce the unpredictability of the
ESD arc. The discharge current rise time is
constant since the energy is directly transferred
without the air-gap arc. In situations such as
hand held systems, the ESD charge can be directly
discharged to the equipment from a person already
holding the equipment. The current is transferred
on to the keypad or the serial port of the equipment
directly and then travels through the PCB and
finally to the IC.
The circuit models in Figures 9 and 10 represent
the typical ESD testing circuits used for all three
methods. The CS is initially charged with the DC
power supply when the first switch (SW1) is on.
Now that the capacitor is charged, the second
switch (SW2) is on while SW1 switches off. The
voltage stored in the capacitor is then applied
through RS, the current limiting resistor, onto the
device under test (DUT). In ESD tests, the SW2
switch is pulsed so that the device under test
receives a duration of voltage.
For the Human Body Model, the current limiting
resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are
1.5kΩ an 100pF, respectively. For IEC-1000-42, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source
capacitor (CS) are 330Ω an 150pF, respectively.
The higher CS value and lower RS value in the
IEC1000-4-2 model are more stringent than the
Human Body Model. The larger storage capacitor
injects a higher voltage to the test point when
SW2 is switched on. The lower current limiting
resistor increases the current charge onto the test
point.
