RS-485 Transceivers
_______________General Description
The MAX1482 and MAX1483 are low-power trans-
ceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communication. Both
feature slew-rate-limited drivers that minimize EMI and
reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated
cables. Data rates are guaranteed up to 250kbps.
The MAX1482/MAX1483 draw only 20µA of supply cur-
rent. Additionally, they have a low-current shutdown
mode that consumes only 0.1µA. Both parts operate
from a single +5V supply.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protect-
ed against excessive power dissipation by thermal
shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a
high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe
feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input
is open circuit.
The MAX1482 is full duplex and the MAX1483 is half
duplex. Both parts have a
1
⁄
8
-unit-load input impedance
that guarantees up to 256 transceivers on the bus.

The MAX1482/MAX1483 are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less
than 50ns, the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the inputs are in this state for at least 600ns, the parts are
guaranteed to have entered shutdown. See

NAME
FUNCTION
Receiver Output. With the receiver output enabled (RE low), RO is high if
A > B by 200mV or when A and B are not connected, and RO is low if A < B
by 200mV.
Receiver Output Enable. When RE is low, RO is enabled. When RE is high, RO
is high impedance. If RE is high and DE is low, the MAX1482/MAX1483 enter
a low-power (0.1µA) shutdown state.
Driver Output Enable. The driver outputs, A and B, (Y and Z for the MAX1482)
are enabled by bringing DE high. When DE is low, the driver outputs are high
impedance, and the devices can function as line receivers if RE is low. If RE is
high and DE is low, the parts will enter a low-power (0.1µA) shutdown state. If
the driver outputs are enabled, the devices function as line drivers.
Driver Input. With DE high, a low on DI forces output Y low and output Z high,
and a high on DI forces output Y high and output Z low.
