DS485 Low Power RS-485/RS-422 Multipoint Transceiver General Description Features The DS485 is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. The device contains one driver and one receiver. The drivers slew rate allows for operation up to 2.5 Mbps (see Applications Information section). The transceiver draws 200 A of supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with the driver disabled and operates from a single +5V supply. n n n n n n The driver is short-circuit current limited and is protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into TRI-STATE (R) (High Impedance state) under fault conditions. The driver guarantees a minimum of 1.5V differential output voltage with maximum loading across the common mode range (VOD3). The receiver has a failsafe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The DS485 is available in surface mount and DIP packages and is characterized for Industrial and Commercial temperature range operation. n n n n Connection and Logic Diagram Truth Table n n Meets TIA/EIA RS-485 multipoint standard Guaranteed full load output voltage (V OD3) Low quiescent current: 200 A typ -7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range TRI-STATE outputs on driver and receiver AC performance: -- Driver transition time: 25 ns typ -- Driver propagation delay: 40 ns typ -- Driver skew: 1 ns typ -- Receiver propagation delay: 200 ns typ -- Receiver skew: 20 ns typ Half-duplex flow through pinout Operates from a single 5V supply Allows up to 32 transceivers on the bus Current-limiting and thermal shutdown for driver overload protection Industrial temperature range operation Pin and functional compatible with MAX485 and LTC485 DRIVER SECTION DIP and SOIC RE* DE DI A X H H H L X H L L H X L X Z Z B RECEIVER SECTION DS012880-1 Order Number DS485N Temp.

They are not meant to imply that the devices should be operated at these limits. The table of "Electrical Characteristics" specifies conditions of device operation. Note 2: Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground except VOD1/2/3 and VID. Note 3: All typicals are given for: VCC = +5.0V, TA = +25C. Note 4: |VOD| and |VOC| are changes in magnitude of V OD and VOCrespectively, that occur when the input changes state. Note 5: IIN2 includes the receiver input current and driver TRI-STATE leakage current. Note 6: Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V or enabled (DE = H) with no load. Note 7: f = 1 MHz, tr and tf 6 ns, ZO = 50. Note 8: CL includes jig and probe capacitance. Note 9: fmax is the guaranteed data rate for 50 ft of twisted pair cable. f max may be conservatively determined from the ratio of driver transition time (tr) to the data rate unit interval (1/fmax). Using a 10% ratio yields fmax = (0.1)/40 ns = 2.5 Mb/s. Higher data rates may be supported by allowing larger ratios. 3 www.national.com Parameter Measurement Information DS012880-3 DS012880-2 FIGURE 5. VOD3 FIGURE 1. VOD DS012880-4 FIGURE 2.

This will not cause damage to the drivers since they feature short-circuit protection and also thermal shutdown protection. Thermal shutdown senses die temperature and puts the driver outputs into TRI-STATE if a fault condition occurs that causes excessive power dissipation which can elevate the junction temperature to +150C. A typical multipoint application is shown in the following figure. Note that termination is typically required but is only located at the two ends of the cable (not on every node). Commonly pull up and pull down resistors may be required at one end of the bus to provide a failsafe bias. These resistors provide a bias to the line when all drivers are in TRI-STATE. See National Application Note 847 for a complete discussion of failsafe biasing of differention buses. The DS485 is a low power transceiver designed for use in RS-485 multipoint applications. The DS485 can transmit data up to 2.5 Mbps based on a ratio of driver transition time to the unit interval (bit time) of 10%. This maximum data rate may be further limited by the interconnecting media. The DS485 provides a standard unit load to the RS-485 bus across the common mode range of -7V to +12V. This allows up to 32 transceivers (standard unit load) to be connected to the bus. More transceivers may be connected to the bus if they support a reduced unit load (see DS36C278). The DS485 also guarantees the driver's output differential voltage into a worst case load that models standard termination loads and 32 unit loads referenced to the maximum common mode voltage extremes. With a minimum of 1.5V swing into this load, a 1.3V differential noise margin is supported along with the standard common mode rejection range of the receivers.
