±15kV ESD-Protected, Isolated RS-485/RS-422
Data Interfaces
_________________General Description
The MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB
are complete, electrically isolated, RS-485/RS-422 data
communications interface solutions in a hybrid microcir-
cuit. The RS-485/RS-422 I/O pins are protected against
±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks, without
latchup. Transceivers, optocouplers, and a transformer
provide a complete interface in a standard DIP package.
A single +5V supply on the logic side powers both sides
of the interface.
The MAX1480EC/MAX1490EB feature reduced-slew-rate
drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused
by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data
transmission at data rates up to 160kbps. The
MAX1480EA/MAX1490EA driver slew rate is not limited,
allowing transmission rates up to 2.5Mbps. The
MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC are designed for half-duplex
communication, while the MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB fea-
ture full-duplex communication.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and protected
against excessive power dissipation by thermal shut-
down circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-
impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe
feature that guarantees a known output (RO low for the
MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC, RO high for the MAX1490EA/
MAX1490EB) if the input is open circuit.
The MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB
withstand 1260V
RMS
(1min) or 1520V
RMS
(1s). Their iso-
lated outputs meet all RS-485/RS-422 specifications. The
MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC are available in a 28-pin DIP
package, and the MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB are available
in a 24-pin DIP package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to logic-
side ground (GND_), unless otherwise specified.

pin descriptions, see
Detailed Block Diagram and Typical Application Circuit
(Figure 1 for MAX1480EA/
MAX1480EC, Figure 2 for MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB).
Note 3:
Shutdown supply current is the current at V
CC1
and V
CC2
when shutdown is enabled.
Note 4:
Limit guaranteed by applying 1520V
RMS
for 1s. Test voltage is applied between all pins on one side of the package to all
pins on the other side of the package, e.g., between pins 1–14 and pins 15–28 on the 28-pin package.
Note 5:
Applies to peak current (see
Typical Operating Characteristics).
Although the MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC and
MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB provide electrical isolation between logic ground and signal paths, they do not provide isolation
between external shields and the signal paths (see
Isolated Common Connection
section).
