2: Devices are production tested at TA = +25NC. Specifications over temperature limits are guaranteed by design.
3: VODPP is the difference in VOD, with the DI at high and DI at low.
4: DVOD and DVOC are the changes in |VOD| and |VOC|, respectively, with the DI at high and DI at low.
5: The short-circuit output current applies to peak current just prior to foldback current limiting; the short-circuit foldback output current applies during current limiting to allow a recovery from bus contention.
Note 6: Shutdown is enabled by bringing RE high and DE low. If the enable inputs are in this state for less than 50ns, the device
is guaranteed not to enter shutdown. If the enable inputs are in this state for at least 800ns, the device is guaranteed to
have entered shutdown.
Note 7: Capacitive load includes test probe and fixture capacitance.
Note 8: Guaranteed by characterization; not production tested.

MAX14770E
±35kV High-ESD Profibus RS-485 Transceiver
Detailed Description
The MAX14770E is a half-duplex, Q35kV high ESDprotected transceiver for PROFIBUS-DP, RS-485, and
RS-422 communications. The device features true failsafe circuitry that 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 True Fail-Safe
section). The MAX14770E supports data rates up to
20Mbps.
The MAX14770E operates from a single +4.5V to +5.5V
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. The MAX14770E has a hotswap input structure that prevents disturbances on the
differential signal lines when the MAX14770E is powered
up (see the Hot-Swap Capability section).
True Fail-Safe
The MAX14770E 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 having the receiver

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 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 MAX14770E, this results
in a logic-high with a 50mV minimum noise margin. The
-50mV to -200mV threshold complies with the Q200mV
EIA/TIA-485 standard.
Hot-Swap Capability
Hot-Swap Inputs
When circuit boards are inserted into a hot or powered
backplane, disturbances to the enable inputs and differential receiver inputs can lead to data errors. Upon initial
circuit board insertion, the processor undergoes its power-up sequence. During this period, the processor output drivers are high impedance and are unable to drive
the DE and RE inputs of the MAX14770E to a defined
logic level. Leakage currents up to 10FA from the highimpedance output of a controller could cause DE and RE
to drift to an incorrect logic state. Additionally, parasitic
circuit board capacitance could cause coupling of VCC
or GND to DE and RE. These factors could improperly
enable the driver or receiver. However, the MAX14770E
has hot-swap inputs that avoid these potential problems.
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
hot-swap-tolerable inputs.
Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
The MAX14770E DE and RE enable inputs feature
hot-swap capability. At the input, there are two NMOS
devices, M1 and M2 (Figure 11). When VCC ramps from
0, an internal 15Fs timer turns on M2 and sets the SR
latch that also turns on M1. Transistors M2, a 1mA current sink, and M1, a 100FA current sink, pull DE to GND
through a 5.6kI 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 15Fs, 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.

Thermal-Shutdown Protection
The MAX14770E features thermal-shutdown circuitry.
The internal switch turns off when the junction temperature exceeds +160NC (typ) and immediately goes into a
fault mode. The device exits thermal shutdown after the
junction temperature cools by 15NC (typ).
Applications Information
128 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is one
unit load, and a standard driver can drive up to 32 unit
loads. The MAX14770E transceiver has a 1/4 unit load
receiver, which allows up to 128 transceivers connected
in parallel on one communication line. Connect any combination of these devices, and/or other RS-485 devices,
for a maximum of 32 unit loads to the line.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices draw only
15FA (max) of supply current. RE and DE can be driven
simultaneously; the devices 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 800ns, the devices
are guaranteed to enter shutdown.
Driver Output Protection
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 exceeds
+160NC (typ).
Typical Application
The MAX14770E transceivers are designed for bidirectional
data communications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
Figure 12 shows a typical network applications circuit. To
minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at both
ends in its characteristic impedance, and stub lengths off
the main line should be kept as short as possible.
Profibus Termination
The MAX14770E is designed for driving PROFIBUS-DP
termination networks. With a worst-case loading of two
termination networks with 220I termination impedance
and 390I pullups/pulldowns, the drivers can drive
V(A - B) > 2.1V output.

Extended ESD Protection
ESD protection structures are incorporated on all pins
to protect against electrostatic discharges up to Q2kV
(HBM) encountered during handling and assembly.
A and B are further protected against high ESD up
to Q35kV (HBM) without damage. The A and B pins
are also protected against Q20kV Air-Gap and Q10kV
Contact IEC61000-4-2 ESD events. The ESD structures
withstand high ESD both in normal operation and when
the device is powered down. After an ESD event, the
MAX14770E continues to function without latchup.

Figure 13 shows the HBM. Figure 14 shows the current
waveform it generates when discharged into a lowimpedance state. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest that is then
discharged into the device through a 1.5kI resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. It does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The MAX14770E
is specified for Q20kV Air-Gap Discharge and Q10kV
Contact Discharge IEC 61000-4-2 on the A and B pins.
The main difference between tests done using the HBM
and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2.
