High CMRR RS-485 Transceiver
with ±50V Isolation
General Description
The MAX3157 is a high CMRR RS-485/RS-422 data-com-
munications interface providing ±50V isolation in a
hybrid microcircuit. A single +5V supply on the logic side
powers both sides of the interface, with external ±50V
capacitors transferring power from the logic side to the
isolated side. Each MAX3157 contains one transmitter
and one receiver and is guaranteed to operate at data
rates up to 250kbps. Drivers are short-circuit current lim-
ited and protected against excessive power dissipation
by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver out-
puts into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has
a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic high receiver
output if the inputs are open, shorted, or connected to a
terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled.
The MAX3157 typically draws 25mA of supply current
when unloaded or when fully loaded with the driver dis-
abled. Supply current drops to 25µA when the device is
placed in shutdown mode. The device is pin selectable
between half- and full-duplex mode and also features
independently programmable receiver and transmitter
output phase through separate pins. The MAX3157 is a
low-cost replacement for opto-isolated transceivers. For
fully isolated RS-485/RS-422 transceivers, refer to the
MAX1480 family data sheet.

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 the device are positive; all currents out of the device are negative. All voltages are referred to device
ground unless otherwise noted.
Note 2:
∆V
OD
and
∆V
OC
are the changes in V
OD
and V

, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 3:
Current level applies to peak current just prior to foldback-current limiting.
Note 4:
The device is put into shutdown by bringing
RE
high and DE low. If the enable inputs are in this state for less than 50ns,
the device is guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the enable inputs are in this state for at least 700ns, the device is guaran-
teed to have entered shutdown.
