19-0410; Rev 0; 6/95 MAAILAA +15kV ESD-Protected, Slew-Rate-Limited, Low-Power, General Description The MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E-MAX491E, and MAX1487E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communications in harsh environments. Each driver output and receiver input is protected against + 15kV electro- static discharge (ESD) shocks, without latchup. These parts contain one driver and one receiver. The MAX483E, MAX487E, MAX488E, and MAX489E feature reduced slew- rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free data transmission up to 250kbps. The driver slew rates of the MAX481E, MAX485E, MAX490E, MAX491E, and MAX1487E are not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps. These transceivers draw as little as 120UA supply current when unloaded or when fully loaded with disabled drivers (see Selection Table). Additionally, the MAX481E, MAX483E, and MAX487E have a Jow-current shutdown mode in which they consume only 0.1pA. All parts operate from a single +5V supply. Drivers are short-circuit current limited, and are protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places their outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guaran- tees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The MAX487E and MAX1487E feature quarter-unit-load receiver input impedance, allowing up to 128 transceivers on the bus. The MAX488E-MAX491E are designed for full- duplex communications, while the MAX481, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E, and MAX1487E are designed for half- duplex applications. For applications in a less demanding environment, see the pin- and function-compatible MAX481, MAX483, MAX485, MAX487-MAX491, and MAX1487.

The ESD structures withstand high ESD in ali states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event, Maxim's MAX481E, MAX483E, MAX485E, MAX487E-MAX491E, and MAX1487E keep working without latchup. ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family are characterized for protection to +15kV using the Human Body Model. Other ESD test methodologies include IEC 10004-2 con- tact discharge and IEC 1000-4-2 air-gap discharge (for- merly 1EC801-2). ESD Test Conditions ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions. Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test set-up, test methodology, and test results. Human Body Model Figure 4 shows the Human Body Model. and Figure 5 shows the current waveform it generates when dis- charged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter- est, which is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kQ resistor. 1EC1000-4-2 The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and per- formance of finished equipment: tt does not specifically refer to integrated circuits (Figure 6). 2-25 3L8P LXVW/ALGYXVN-ALEPXVW/ASEPXVW/SACSPXVW/ALSeXUW+15kV ESD-Protected, Slew-Rate-Limited, Low-Power, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers Ry 1M Re 150082 AN o CHARGE CURRENT DISCHARGE LIMIT RESISTOR RESISTANCE HIGH DEVICE VOLTAGE Cs L STORAGE UNDER oc 1OOpF PF CAPACITOR TEST SOURCE Ip 100% lr PEAK-TO-PEAK RINGING 90% | } (NOT DRAWN TO SCALE) AMPERES 36 8% 10% JR i 6 0 th TIME a ft I CURRENT WAVEFORM Figure 4.
