RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
General Description __Next Generation Device Features
MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487
The MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487–MAX491, and ♦ For Fault-Tolerant Applications
MAX1487 are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS- MAX3430: ±80V Fault-Protected, Fail-Safe, 1/4
422 communication. Each part contains one driver and one
Unit Load, +3.3V, RS-485 Transceiver
receiver. The MAX483, MAX487, MAX488, and MAX489
feature reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and MAX3440E–MAX3444E: ±15kV ESD-Protected,
reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, ±60V Fault-Protected, 10Mbps, Fail-Safe,
thus allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. RS-485/J1708 Transceivers
The driver slew rates of the MAX481, MAX485, MAX490, ♦ For Space-Constrained Applications
MAX491, and MAX1487 are not limited, allowing them to
transmit up to 2.5Mbps. MAX3460–MAX3464: +5V, Fail-Safe, 20Mbps,
Profibus RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
These transceivers draw between 120µA and 500µA of
supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with disabled MAX3362: +3.3V, High-Speed, RS-485/RS-422
drivers. Additionally, the MAX481, MAX483, and MAX487 Transceiver in a SOT23 Package
have a low-current shutdown mode in which they consume MAX3280E–MAX3284E: ±15kV ESD-Protected,
only 0.1µA. All parts operate from a single 5V supply. 52Mbps, +3V to +5.5V, SOT23, RS-485/RS-422,
Drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected True Fail-Safe Receivers

ance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that
guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. ♦ For Multiple Transceiver Applications
MAX3030E–MAX3033E: ±15kV ESD-Protected,
The MAX487 and MAX1487 feature quarter-unit-load
receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 MAX487/ +3.3V, Quad RS-422 Transmitters
MAX1487 transceivers on the bus. Full-duplex communi- ♦ For Fail-Safe Applications
cations are obtained using the MAX488–MAX491, while MAX3080–MAX3089: Fail-Safe, High-Speed
the MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487, and MAX1487 (10Mbps), Slew-Rate-Limited RS-485/RS-422
are designed for half-duplex applications.

NOTES FOR ELECTRICAL/SWITCHING CHARACTERISTICS
MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487
Note 1: All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to device
ground unless otherwise specified.
Note 2: All typical specifications are given for VCC = 5V and TA = +25°C.
Note 3: Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V.
Note 4: Applies to peak current. See Typical Operating Characteristics.
Note 5: The MAX481/MAX483/MAX487 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 Low-Power Shutdown Mode (MAX481/MAX483/MAX487) section.

MAX481/MAX483/MAX485/MAX487–MAX491/MAX1487
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to circuits. These parts can also be used as line
4000 feet. For line lengths greater than 4000 feet, see repeaters, with cable lengths longer than 4000 feet, as
Figure 23. shown in Figure 23.
Figures 19 and 20 show the system differential voltage To minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at
for the parts driving 4000 feet of 26AWG twisted-pair both ends in its characteristic impedance, and stub
wire at 110kHz into 120Ω loads. lengths off the main line should be kept as short as possi-
ble. The slew-rate-limited MAX483 and MAX487–MAX489
Typical Applications are more tolerant of imperfect termination.
The MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487–MAX491, and
MAX1487 transceivers are designed for bidirectional data
communications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
