_______________General Description
MAX1487 is a low power differential bus transceiver
designed to meet the requirements of RS-485 standard
for multipoint data transmission. In addition it is
compatible with TIA/EIA-422-B.
The CMOS design offers significant power savings
over its bipolar counter parts.
Device feature fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a
logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are
open or shorted. This means that the receiver output
will be logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus
are disabled.
These transceivers typically draw 375μA of supply
current when unloaded, or when fully loaded with the
drivers disabled. MAX1487 is ideal for RS485
communication.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1487 high-speed transceivers for RS-485/
RS-422 communication contain one driver and one
receiver. The device features fail-safe circuitry, which
guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the
receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when they are
connected to a terminated transmission line with all
drivers disabled. The MAX1487 features reduced slewrate
drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission up to 500 KBPS .
The part operate from a single +5V supply. Drivers are
output short-circuit current limited. Thermal shutdown
circuitry protects drivers against excessive power
dissipation. When activated, the thermal shutdown
circuitry places the driver outputs into a high impedance
state. Receiver Input Filtering
The receiver of the MAX1487, incorporates input filtering
in addition to input hysteresis. This filtering enhances
noise immunity with differential signals that have very
slow rise and fall times. |
The MAX1487 family guarantees a logic-high receiver
output when the receiver inputs are shorted or open, or
when they are connected to a terminated transmission
line with all drivers disabled. This is done by setting the
receiver threshold between -50mV and -200mV. If the
differential receiver input voltage (A-B) is greater than
or equal to -50mV, RO is logic high. If A-B is less than
or equal to -200mV, RO is logic low. In the case of a
terminated bus with all transmitters disabled, the
receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled to 0V by
the termination. With the receiver thresholds of the
MAX1487 family, this results in a logic high with a 50mV
minimum noise margin. Unlike previous fail-safe
devices, the -50mV to -200mV threshold complies with
the ±200mV EIA/TIA-485 standard. 256 Transceivers on the
Bus
The MAX1487 transceiver have a 1/8-unit -load receiver
input impedance (96k), allowing up to 256 transceivers
to be connected in parallel on one communication line.
Any combination of these devices and/or other RS-485
transceivers with a total of 32 unit loads or less can be
connected to the line. |
