The SP485R is a low power RS-485 differential transceiver. Similar to the SP485, the SP485R contains a half-duplex driver and receiver with tri-state control. However, the SP485R is intended for increased connections on a single bus compared to the original RS-485 specifcation. The receiver contains an enable pin (RE) which enables the receiver when a logic LOW is asserted. A logic HIGH will tri-state the receiver output and the inputs will maintain at least 120k impedance. The reciever can operate to at least 1Mbps The RS-485 standard is ideal for multi-drop applications where one bus can contain many drivers and/or receivers.The RS-485 standard implementation allows up to 32 transceivers to be connected on to the data bus. RS-485 is also specified for driving higher speeds over long cable lengths of up to 4000 feet. The SP485R exceeds the standard by allowing up to 400 receivers to share the bus The receiver also contains a fail-safe feature which outputs a logic HIGH when the inputs are open as in a disconnected cable. Drivers The driver output complies with the RS485 electrical characteristics as specified by the standard. The output swings from 0V to Vcc and maintains greater than +1.5V with a 54 load attached between the two outputs. In adhering to the RS-485 specification, the driver outputs inherently comply with the RS-422 standard. With a load of 100 between the two outputs, the driver can sustain at least +2.0V. The driver contains an enable pin (DE) which tri-states the output when DE is logic LOW. The outputs during the tri-state condition are at high impedance (>100k). A logic HIGH enables the driver for normal operation. The driver can operate to at least 5Mbps. Receivers The SP485R receiver has differential inputs with an input sensitivity of lower than 200mV. As mentioned above, the RS-485 specification allows up to 32 transceivers on the same bus. The SP485R allows over 400 transceivers on the same bus due to its high impedance of at least 120k. This higher capacity allows more components to be attached to the same bus without degrading the signal quality. The drivers are still able to drive an equivalent 54 from the 320 Exar Corporation 48720 Kato Road, Fremont CA, 94538 * 510-668-7017 * www.exar.com SP485R_100_072309 Exar Corporation 48720 Kato Road, Fremont CA, 94538 * 510-668-7017 * www.exar.com SP485R_100_072309 Exar Corporation 48720 Kato Road, Fremont CA, 94538 * 510-668-7017 * www.exar.com SP485R_100_072309 ORDERING INFORMATION Model Temperature Range Package Types SP485RCN-L........................................................................ 0C to +70C.................................................................................................8-pin NSOIC SP485RCN-L/TR.................................................................. 0C to +70C.................................................................................................8-pin NSOIC SP485RCP-L....................................................................... 0C to +70C................................................................................................8-pin PDIP SP485REN-L...................................................................... -40C to +85C..............................................................................................8-pin NSOIC SP485REN-L/TR................................................................ -40C to +85C..............................................................................................8-pin NSOIC SP485REP-L...................................................................... -40C to +85C..............................................................................................8-pin PDIP Note: /TR = Tape and Reel revision history DATE REVISION 06/21/04 -- 07/23/09 1.0.0 DESCRIPTION Legacy Sipex Datasheet Convert to Exar Format.
