SP481/483/485 Low Power Half-Duplex RS485 Transceivers 4 (c) Copyright 2002 Sipex Corporation DESCRIPTION SP481, SP483, SP485 Receivers SP481, SP483, SP485 The SP481, SP483, and SP485 are half-duplex differential transceivers that meet the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422. Fabricated with a Sipex proprietary BiCMOS process, all three products require a fraction of the power of older bipolar designs. The SP481, SP483, and SP485 receivers have differential inputs with an input sensitivity as low as 200mV. Input impedance of the receivers is typically 15k (12k minimum). A wide common mode range of -7V to +12V allows for large ground potential differences between systems. The receivers of the SP481, SP483 and SP485 have a tri-state enable control pin. A logic LOW on RE (pin 4) will enable the receiver, a logic HIGH on RE (pin 4) will disable the receiver. The RS-485 standard is ideal for multi-drop applications and for long-distance interfaces. RS-485 allows up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers to be connected to a data bus, making it an ideal choice for multi-drop applications. Since the cabling can be as long as 4,000 feet, RS-485 transceivers are equipped with a wide (-7V to +12V) common mode range to accommodate ground potential differences. Because RS-485 is a differential interface, data is virtually immune to noise in the transmission line. The receiver for the SP481 and SP485 will operate up to at least 5Mbps. The SP483 receiver is rated for data rates up to 250kbps. The receiver for each of the three devices is equipped with the fail-safe feature. Fail-safe guarantees that the receiver output will be in a HIGH state when the input is left unconnected. Drivers SP481, SP483, SP485 Shutdown Mode SP481/SP483 The driver outputs of the SP481, SP483, and SP485 are differential outputs meeting the RS485 and RS-422 standards. The typical voltage output swing with no load will be 0 volts to +5 volts. With worst case loading of 54 across the differential outputs, the drivers can maintain greater than 1.5V voltage levels. The drivers of the SP481, SP483 and SP485 have an enable control line which is active HIGH. A logic HIGH on DE (pin 5) will enable the differential driver outputs. A logic LOW on DE (pin 5) will tri-state the driver outputs. The SP481 and SP483 are equipped with a Shutdown mode. To enable the Shutdown state, both the driver and receiver must be disabled simultaneously. A logic LOW on DE (pin 5) and a logic HIGH on RE (pin 4) will put the SP481 or SP483 into Shutdown mode. In Shutdown, supply current will drop to typically 1A. The transmitters of the SP481 and SP485 will operate up to at least 5Mbps. The SP483 has internally slew rate limited driver outputs to minimize EMI. The maximum data rate for the SP483 driver is 250kbps.
