General Description
The MAX3362 low-power, high-speed transceiver for
RS-485/RS-422 communication operates from a single
+3.3V power supply. The device contains one differential transceiver consisting of a line driver and receiver.
The transceiver operates at data rates up to 20Mbps,
with an output skew of less than 6ns. Driver and receiver propagation delays are guaranteed below 50ns. This
fast switching and low skew make the MAX3362 ideal
for multidrop clock/data distribution applications.
The output level is guaranteed at +1.5V with a standard
54Ω load, compliant with RS-485 specifications. The
transceiver draws 1.7mA supply current when
unloaded or fully loaded with the drivers disabled.
Additionally, the MAX3362 has a low-power shutdown
mode, reducing the supply current to 1µA.
The MAX3362 has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers on the bus. The
MAX3362 is designed for half-duplex communication.
The device has a hot-swap feature that eliminates false
transitions on the data cable during circuit initialization.
The drivers are short-circuit current limited, and a thermal shutdown circuit protects against excessive power
dissipation.
The MAX3362 is available in an 8-pin SOT package
and specified over industrial and automotive temperature ranges.

_______________________________________________________________________________________ 9
Detailed Description
The MAX3362 low-power, high-speed transceiver for
RS-485/RS-422 communication operates from a single
+3.3V power supply. The device contains one differential line driver and one differential line receiver. The driver and receiver may be independently enabled. When
disabled, outputs enter a high-impedance state.
The transceiver guarantees data rates up to 20Mbps,
with an output skew of less than 6ns. This low skew
time makes the MAX3362 ideal for multidrop clock/data
distribution applications, such as cellular base stations.
Driver and receiver propagation delays are below 50ns.
The output level is guaranteed at 1.5V on a standard
54Ω load.
The device has a hot-swap feature that eliminates false
transitions on the data cable during circuit initialization.
Also, drivers are short-circuit current limited and are
protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry.

MAX3362
3.3V, High-Speed, RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver in
SOT Package
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
The MAX3362 has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected
simultaneously on a bus. The MAX3362 is designed for
half-duplex communication.
Driver
The driver transfers single-ended input (DI) to differential outputs (A, B). The driver enable (DE) input controls
the driver. When DE is high, driver outputs are enabled.
These outputs are high impedance when DE is low.
When the driver is enabled, setting DI low forces the
noninverting output (A) low and inverting output (B)
high. Conversely, drive DI high to force noninverting
output high and inverting output low (Table 1).
Drive RE high and DE low (disable both receiver and
driver outputs) to enter low-power shutdown mode.
Receiver
The receiver reads differential inputs from the bus lines
(A, B) and transfers this data as a single-ended output
(RO). The receiver enable (RE) input controls the
receiver. Drive RE low to enable the receiver. Driving
RE high places RO into a high-impedance state.
When the receiver is enabled, RO is high if (A-B) ≥
200mV. RO is low if (A-B) ≤ -200mV.
Drive RE high and DE low (disable both receiver and
driver outputs) to enter low-power shutdown mode.
Hot-Swap Capability
Hot-Swap Input
When circuit boards are inserted into a hot or powered
backplane, disturbances to the enable and differential
receiver inputs can lead to data errors. Upon initial circuit board insertion, the processor undergoes its
power-up sequence. During this period, the output drivers are high impedance and are unable to drive the
DE input of the MAX3362 to a defined logic level.
Leakage currents up to 10µA from the high-impedance
output could cause DE to drift to an incorrect logic
state. Additionally, parasitic circuit board capacitance
could cause coupling of V
CC
or GND to DE. These fac-
tors could improperly enable the driver.
When VCCrises, an internal pulldown circuit holds DE
low for at least 10µs and until the current into DE
exceeds 200µA. After the initial power-up sequence,
the pulldown circuit becomes transparent, resetting the
hot-swap tolerable input.
Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
The MAX3362 enable inputs feature hot-swap capability.
At the input there are two NMOS devices, M1 and M2
(Figure 8). When VCCramps from 0, an internal 10µs
timer turns on M2 and sets the SR latch, which also turns
on M1. Transistors M2, a 300µA current sink, and M1, a
30µA current sink, pull DE to GND through an 8kΩ resistor. M2 is designed to pull DE to the disabled state
against an external parasitic capacitance up to 100pF
that may drive DE high. After 10µs, the timer deactivates
M2 while M1 remains on, holding DE low against threestate leakages that may drive DE high. M1 remains on
until an external source overcomes the required input
current. At this time, the SR latch resets and M1 turns off.
When M1 turns off, DE reverts to a standard, highimpedance CMOS input. Whenever VCCdrops below
1V, the hot-swap input is reset.
For RE there is a complimentary circuit employing two
PMOS devices pulling RE to VCC.
Hot-Swap Line Transient
The circuit of Figure 9 shows a typical offset termination
used to guarantee a greater than 200mV offset when a
line is not driven (the 50pF represents the minimum
parasitic capacitance that would exist in a typical application). During a hot-swap event when the driver is

200mV. Figures 10, 11, and 12 show the results of the
MAX3362 during power-up for three different VCCramp
rates (0.1V/µs, 1V/µs, and 10V/µs). The photos show
the VCCramp, the single-ended signal on each side of
the 100Ω termination, as well as the differential signal
across the termination.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the MAX3362 typically draws only 1µA supply current.
RE and DE may be driven simultaneously; the device is
guaranteed not to enter shutdown if RE is high and DE
is low for less than 50ns. If the inputs are in this state
for at least 600ns, the device will enter shutdown.

Applications Information
Propagation Delays
Figures 5 and 6 show the typical propagation delays.
Skew time is simply the difference between the low-tohigh and high-to-low propagation delay. Small
driver/receiver skew times help maintain a symmetrical
mark-space ratio (50% duty cycle). Both the receiver
skew time and driver skew time are under 6ns.
256 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(one-unit load), and a standard driver can drive up to
32 unit loads. The MAX3362 transceiver has a 1/8-unitload receiver input impedance (96kΩ), allowing up to
256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one
communication line. Any combination of these devices
and/or other RS-485 transceivers with a total of 32 unit
loads or less can be connected to the line.
Driver Output Protection
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and
power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention. The first, a foldback current limit on the output
stage, provides immediate protection against short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range (see
Typical Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal shutdown circuit, forces the driver outputs into a
high-impedance state if the die temperature becomes
excessive.
Typical Applications
The MAX3362 transceiver is designed for bidirectional
data communications on multipoint bus transmission
lines. The Typical Operating Circuit shows a typical network applications circuit. To minimize reflections, the
line should be terminated at both ends in its characteristic impedance, and stub lengths off the main line
should be kept as short as possible.
