REV 1.0.3 8/12 SP3490 / SP3491 Description The SP3490 and SP3491 are two members in the family of 3.3V low power full-duplex transceivers that meet the electrical specifications of the RS-485 and RS-422 serial protocols. These devices are pin-to-pin compatible with the MaxLinear SP490 and SP491 devices as well as popular industry standards. The SP3490 and SP3491 feature MaxLinear's BiCMOS process allowing low power operation without sacrificing performance. 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. Receivers The receivers of the SP3490 and SP3491 have differential inputs with an input sensitivity of 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 for both the SP3490 and SP3491 are equipped with a failsafe feature that guarantees the receiver output will be in a HIGH state when the input is left unconnected. The receiver of the SP3491 has a enable control line which is active LOW. A logic LOW on REB (pin 3) of the SP3491 will enable the differential receiver. A logic HIGH on REB (pin 3) of the SP3491 will tri-state the receiver. Drivers The drivers for both the SP3490 and SP3491 have differential outputs. The typical voltage output swing with no load will be 0 volts to Vcc. With worst case loading of 54 across the differential outputs, the drivers can maintain greater than 1.5V voltage levels. The driver of the SP3491 has a driver enable control line which is active HIGH. A logic HIGH on DE (pin 4) of the SP3491 will enable the differential driver outputs. A logic LOW on the DE (pin 4) will tri-state the driver outputs. The SP3490 does not have a driver enable.
