MAX3070E–MAX3079E
+3.3V, ±15kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe,
Hot-Swap, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX3070E/MAX3071E/MAX3072E feature reduced
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing errorfree data transmission up to 250kbps. The MAX3073E/
MAX3074E/MAX3075E also feature slew-rate-limited
drivers but allow transmit speeds up to 500kbps. The
MAX3076E/MAX3077E/MAX3078E driver slew rates are
not limited, making transmit speeds up to 16Mbps possible.
The MAX3079E slew rate is pin-selectable for 250kbps,
500kbps, and 16Mbps.
●● Flexible Feature Set for Ease of Design
• Pin-Selectable Full/Half-Duplex Operation
(MAX3079E)
• Phase Controls to Correct for Twisted-Pair
Reversal (MAX3079E)
• Allows up to 256 Transceivers on the Bus
• Available in Industry-Standard SO and DIP packages
The MAX3072E/MAX3075E/MAX3078E are intended
for half-duplex communications, and the MAX3070E/
MAX3071E/MAX3073E/MAX3074E/MAX3076E/
MAX3077E are intended for full-duplex communications.
The MAX3079E is selectable for half-duplex or full-duplex
operation. It also features independently programmable
receiver and transmitter output phase through separate
pins.
Ordering Information at end of data sheet.
The MAX3070E–MAX3079E 3.3V, ±15kV ESD-protected,
RS-485/RS-422 transceivers feature one driver and one
receiver. These devices include fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing
a logic-high receiver output when receiver inputs are open
or shorted. The receiver outputs a logic-high if all transmitters
on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The
devices include a hot-swap capability to eliminate false
transitions on the bus during power-up or hot insertion.
The MAX3070E–MAX3079E transceivers draw 800μA
of supply current when unloaded, or when fully loaded
with the drivers disabled. All devices have a 1/8-unit load
receiver input impedance, allowing up to 256 transceivers
on the bus.

MAX3070E–MAX3079E
Detailed Description
The MAX3070E–MAX3079E high-speed transceivers for
RS-485/RS-422 communication contain one driver and
one receiver. These devices feature 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 (see the Fail-Safe section). The
devices also feature a hot-swap capability allowing line
insertion without erroneous data transfer (see the HotSwap Capability section). The MAX3070E/MAX3071E/
MAX3072E feature reduced slew-rate drivers that
minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly
terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission
up to 250kbps. The MAX3073E/MAX3074E/MAX3075E
also offer slew-rate limits allowing transmit speeds up
to 500kbps. The MAX3076E/MAX3077E/MAX3078Es’
driver slew rates are not limited, making transmit speeds
up to 16Mbps possible. The MAX3079E’s slew rate is
selectable between 250kbps, 500kbps, and 16Mbps by
driving a selector pin with a three-state driver.
The MAX3072E/MAX3075E/MAX3078E are half-duplex
transceivers, while the MAX3070E/MAX3071E/MAX3073E/
MAX3074E/MAX3076E/MAX3077E are full-duplex transceivers.
The MAX3079E is selectable between half and full-duplex
communication by driving a selector pin (SRL) high or low,
respectively.
All devices operate from a single 3.3V 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 receivers of the MAX3070E–MAX3075E, and the
MAX3079E when operating in 250kbps or 500kbps mode,
incorporate input filtering in addition to input hysteresis.
This filtering enhances noise immunity with differential
signals that have very slow rise and fall times. Receiver
propagation delay increases by 25% due to this filtering.
Fail-Safe
The MAX3070E 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 input 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
www.maximintegrated.com
+3.3V, ±15kV ESD-Protected, Fail-Safe,
Hot-Swap, RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
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 MAX3070E 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.
Hot-Swap Capability
(Except MAX3071E/MAX3074E/MAX3077E)
Hot-Swap Inputs
When circuit boards are inserted into a hot, or powered,
backplane, differential disturbances to the data bus can
lead to data errors. Upon initial circuit board insertion,
the data communication processor undergoes its own
power-up sequence. During this period, the processor’s
logic-output drivers are high impedance and are unable to
drive the DE and RE inputs of these devices to a defined
logic level. Leakage currents up to ±10μA from the highimpedance state of the processor’s logic drivers could
cause standard CMOS enable inputs of a transceiver to
drift to an incorrect logic level. Additionally, parasitic circuit
board capacitance could cause coupling of VCC or GND
to the enable inputs. Without the hot-swap capability,
these factors could improperly enable the transceiver’s
driver or receiver.
When VCC rises, an internal pulldown circuit holds DE
low and RE high. After the initial power-up sequence, the
pulldown circuit becomes transparent, resetting the hotswap tolerable input.
Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
The enable inputs feature hot-swap capability. At the input
there are two NMOS devices, M1 and M2 (Figure 9).
When VCC ramps from zero, an internal 10μs timer turns
on M2 and sets the SR latch, which also turns on M1.
Transistors M2, a 500μA current sink, and M1, a 100μA
current sink, pull DE to GND through a 5kΩ resistor. M2 is
designed to pull DE to the disabled state against an external
parasitic capacitance up to 100pF that can drive DE high.
After 10μs, the timer deactivates M2 while M1 remains on,
holding DE low against three-state leakages that can drive
DE high. M1 remains on until an external source overcomes
the required input current. At this time, the SR latch resets
and M1 turns off. When M1 turns off, DE reverts to a standard,
high-impedance CMOS input. Whenever VCC drops
below 1V, the hot-swap input is reset.
For RE there is a complementary circuit employing two
PMOS devices pulling RE to VCC.

Drive H/F high for half-duplex operation. In full-duplex

As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the MAX3070E
family of devices have extra protection against static
electricity. Maxim’s engineers have developed state-ofthe-art structures to protect these pins against ESD of
±15kV without damage. The ESD structures withstand
high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and
powered down. After an ESD event, the devices keep
working without latchup or damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The transmitter
outputs and receiver inputs of the devices are characterized
for protection to the following limits:
Figure 9. Simplified Structure of the Driver Enable Pin (DE)
●● ±15kV using the Human Body Model
MAX3079E Programming
●● ±6kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 1000-4-2
The MAX3079E has several programmable operating
modes. Transmitter rise and fall times are programmable,
resulting in maximum data rates of 250kbps, 500kbps,
and 16Mbps. To select the desired data rate, drive SRL to
one of three possible states by using a three-state driver:
VCC, GND, or unconnected. For 250kbps operation, set
the three-state device in high-impedance mode or leave
SRL unconnected. For 500kbps operation, drive SRL high
or connect it to VCC. For 16Mbps operation, drive SRL
low or connect it to GND. SRL can be changed during
operation without interrupting data communications.
Occasionally, twisted-pair lines are connected backward
from normal orientation. The MAX3079E has two pins that
invert the phase of the driver and the receiver to correct
this problem. For normal operation, drive TXP and RXP
low, connect them to ground, or leave them unconnected
(internal pulldown). To invert the driver phase, drive TXP
high or connect it to VCC. To invert the receiver phase,
drive RXP high or connect it to VCC. Note that the receiver
threshold is positive when RXP is high.
The MAX3079E can operate in full/half-duplex mode.
Drive the H/F pin low, leave it unconnected (internal

ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents test
setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 10a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 10b
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged
into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF
capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which
is then discharged into the test device through a 1.5kΩ
resistor.
IEC 1000-4-2
The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. However, it does not
specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3070E
family of devices helps you design equipment to meet IEC
1000-4-2, without the need for additional ESD-protection
components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is higher peak
current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is

the current waveform for IEC 1000-4-2 ESD Contact
Discharge test.
Applications Information
The air-gap test involves approaching the device with a
charged probe. The contact-discharge method connects
the probe to the device before the probe is energized.
Machine Model
The machine model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF
storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. The
objective is to emulate the stress caused when I/O pins
are contacted by handling equipment during test and
assembly. Of course, all pins require this protection, not
just RS-485 inputs and outputs.
www.maximintegrated.com
256 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(1-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to
32-unit loads. The MAX3070E family of transceivers has
a 1/8-unit load receiver input impedance (96kΩ), allowing
up to 256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one
communication line. Any combination of these devices as
well as other RS-485 transceivers with a total of 32-unit
loads or fewer can be connected to the line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX3070E/MAX3071E/MAX3072E feature reduced
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing errorfree data transmission up to 250kbps. The MAX3073E/
MAX3074E/MAX3075E offer higher driver output slewrate limits, allowing transmit speeds up to 500kbps.
The MAX3079E with SRL = VCC or unconnected, are
slew-rate limited. With SRL unconnected, the MAX3079E
error-free data transmission is up to 250kbps; with SRL
connected to VCC the data transmit speeds up to 500kbps.

Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Driver Output Protection
(Except MAX3071E/MAX3074E/MAX3077E)
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices typically
draw only 50nA of supply current.
RE and DE can be driven simultaneously; the parts are
guaranteed not to enter shutdown if RE is high and DE is
low for less than 50ns. If the inputs are in this state for at
least 600ns, the parts are guaranteed to enter shutdown.
Enable times tZH and tZL (see the Switching Characteristics
section) assume the part was not in a low-power shutdown
state. Enable times tZH(SHDN) and tZL(SHDN) assume the
parts were shut down. It takes drivers and receivers longer
to become enabled from low-power shutdown mode
(tZH(SHDN), tZL(SHDN)) than from driver/receiver-disable
mode (tZH, tZL).

Line Length
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up
to 4000ft. For line lengths greater than 4000ft, use the
repeater application shown in Figure 11.
Typical Applications
The MAX3072E/MAX3075E/MAX3078E/MAX3079E
transceivers are designed for bidirectional data
communications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
Figure 12 and Figure 13 show typical network application
circuits.
To minimize reflections, terminate the line at both ends
in its characteristic impedance, and keep stub lengths
off the main line as short as possible. The slew-ratelimited MAX3072E/MAX3075E and the two modes of the
MAX3079E are more tolerant of imperfect termination.

RE
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and
power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention.
The first, a foldback current limit on the output stage,
provides immediate protection against short circuits over
the whole common-mode voltage range (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal-shutdown
circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance
state if the die temperature becomes excessive.
