MAX14775E/MAX14776E
±65V Fault Protected 500kpbs/20Mbps
Half-Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
General Description
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E fault-protected RS-485/
RS-422 transceivers feature ±65V protection for overvoltage
signal faults on communication bus lines, ensuring
communication in harsh industrial environments.
Each device contains one driver and one receiver and
operates over the 3V to 5.5V supply range. The
MAX14775E is optimized for high-speed data rates up
to 20Mbps. The MAX14776E features slew-rate limited
outputs for data rates up to 500kbps.
These transceivers are optimized for robust communication
in noisy environments. A large 200mV (typ) hysteresis on
receiver inputs ensure for high noise rejection and a failsafe feature guarantees a logic-high on the receiver output
when the inputs are open or shorted. Driver outputs are
protected against short-circuit conditions.
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E receivers feature a 1/3unit load input impedance, allowing up to 100 transceivers
on a bus.
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E are available in 8-pin
SOIC and 8-pin TDFN-EP packages and operate over the
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.

(VCC = 3.0V to 5.5V, TA = TMIN to TMAX, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at VCC = 3.3V and TA = +25°C.) (Note 2)
Note 2: All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Note 3: ΔVOD and ΔVOC are the changes in VOD and VOC, respectively, when the DI input changes state.
Note 4: The short-circuit current is 200mA (max) for a short period (35μs, typ). If the short circuit persists, the outputs are then set
to high impedance for 300ms (typ).
Note 5: Shutdown is enabled when RE is high and DE is 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 held in this state for at least 800ns, the device is guaranteed to
have entered shutdown.
Note 6: Capacitive load includes test probe and fixture capacitance.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.

MAX14775E/MAX14776E
Detailed Description
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E half-duplex transceivers
are optimized for RS-485/RS-422 applications that require
up to ±65V protection from faults on communication bus
lines. These devices contain one differential driver and
one differential receiver. The devices feature a 1/3 unit
load, allowing up to 100 transceivers on a single bus.
The MAX14775E supports data rates up to 20Mbps. The
MAX14776E supports data rates up to 500kbps.
Driver
The driver accepts a single-ended, logic-level input (DI) and
transfers it to a differential RS-485 level output on the A and
B driver outputs.
Set the driver enable input (DE) low to disable the driver. A
and B are high impedance when the driver is disabled.
Receiver
The receiver accepts a differential, RS-485 level input on
the A and B inputs and transfers it to a single-ended, logiclevel output (RO).
Drive the receiver enable input (RE) low to enable the
receiver. Driver RE high to disable the receiver. RO is high
impedance when RE is high.
Low-Power Shutdown
Drive DE low and RE high for at least 800ns to put
the MAX14775E/MAX14776E into low-power shutdown
mode. Supply current drops to 20μA when the device is
in shutdown mode.
A glitch protection feature ensures that the MAX14775E/
MAX14776E will not accidentally enter shutdown mode
due to logic skews between DE and RE when switching
between transmit and receive modes.
±65V Fault Protection
The driver outputs/receiver inputs of transceivers connected
to an industrial RS-485 network often experience faults
when shorted to voltages that exceed the -7V to +12V
input range specified in the EIA/TIA-485 standard. Under
such circumstances, ordinary RS-485 transceivers that
have a typical absolute maximum voltage rating of -8V to
+12.5V require costly external protection devices which
can compromise the RS-485 performance. To reduce
system complexity and the need for external protection,
the driver outputs/receiver inputs of the MAX14775E/
MAX14776E are designed to withstand voltage faults of up
to ±65V with respect to ground without damage. Protection
is guaranteed regardless whether the transceiver is active,
in shutdown or without power.
www.maximintegrated.com
±65V Fault Protected 500kpbs/20Mbps
Half-Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
When a fault is detected on A or B, the affected driver output is switched into a high-impedance state. After 300ms
(typ), the driver output is re-enabled for 30μs (typ). If the
fault condition persists, the driver output is again disabled.
If the fault has been removed, the driver outputs remain
on and the transceiver operates normally.
Driving a non-terminated cable may cause the voltage
seen at the driver outputs (A or B) to exceed the absolute
maximum voltage rating if the DI input is switched during
a ±65V fault on the A or B pins. Therefore, a termination resistor is recommended in order to maximize the
overvoltage fault protection while the DI input is being
switched.
If the DI input does not change state while the fault condition is present, the MAX14775E/MAX14776E will withstand up to ±65V on the RS-485 inputs, regardless of the
termination status of the data cable.
Fail-Safe
The devices’ receiver features symmetrical thresholds to
improve the duty cycle of the received signal, ensuring that
it is 50% when the received signal amplitude is small.
Additionally, a high input hysteresis (250mV, typ) increases
the resilience to noise on the receiver.
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E also include a fail-safe
feature that ensures the receiver output (RO) is high when
the receiver inputs are shorted or open, or when they are
connected to a differentially terminated transmission line
with all drivers disabled for longer than tD_FS (10μs, typ).
Hot-Swap Functionality
Hot-Swap Inputs
Inserting circuit boards into a hot, or powered backplane
may cause voltage transients on DE, RE, and receiver
inputs A and B that can lead to data errors. For example,
upon initial circuit board insertion, the processor undergoes a power-up sequence. During this period, the highimpedance state of the output drivers makes them unable
to drive the MAX14775E/MAX14776E enable inputs to
a defined logic level. Meanwhile, leakage currents of up
to 10μA from the high-impedance output, or capacitively
coupled noise from VCC or GND, could cause an input
to drift to an incorrect logic state. To prevent such a
condition from occurring, the MAX14775E/MAX14776E
features hot-swap input circuitry on DE and RE to safeguard against unwanted driver activation during hot-swap
situations. When VCC rises, an internal pulldown circuit
holds DE low and RE high for at least 10μs. After the
initial power-up sequence, the internal pulldown/pullup
circuitry becomes transparent, resetting the hot-swap
tolerable inputs.

Thermal Shutdown Protection
Power Considerations for the MAX14775E/
MAX14776E
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E feature thermal-shutdown
protection circuitry to protect the device. When the junction
temperature exceeds +165°C (typ), the driver outputs are
disabled and RO is high impedance. Driver and receiver
outputs are re-enabled when the junction temperature falls
below 150°C (typ).
At high data rates, the power dissipation of an RS-485
transceiver can be high. The power dissipation of a halfduplex transceiver is determined by a number of factors,
including:
●●
The data rate
●●
The time that the driver is transmitting
●●
The termination impedance
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E transceivers have 0.32unit load receiver, allowing up to 100 MAX14775E/
MAX14776E transceivers connected in parallel on a
shared communication line. Connect any combination of
these devices, and/or other RS-485 devices, for a maximum
of 32 unit loads to the line.
●●
The power supply voltage
Typical Application
Similarly, the power dissipation in a transceiver is much
higher when the driver is transmitting, compared to when
the transceiver is receiving. In half-duplex communication,
the period of transmission relative to the idle or receiving
intervals (i.e., the duty cycle) should be taken into consideration
when calculating the average power dissipation.
Applications Information
100 Transceivers on the Bus
The MAX14775E/MAX14776E half-duplex transceivers are
designed for bidirectional data communications on
multipoint bus transmission lines. Figure 9 shows a typical
network applications circuit. To minimize reflections, the bus
should be terminated at the receiver inputs in its characteristics
impedance, and stub lengths off the main line should be
kept as short as possible.
Higher data rates result in higher power dissipation due
to switching losses in the transceiver. Switching losses
increase even more when capacitance is applied to the A
and B pins. External capacitance should be kept to a minimum
to help reduce power dissipation at high data rates.

±65V Fault Protected 500kpbs/20Mbps
Half-Duplex RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
The line termination resistance/impedance determines
the driver’s load current during transmission and the
differential output voltage (VOD) on the driver is
determined by the supply voltage. A higher supply voltage
results in a larger differential output voltage at the driver
driving the line, which in turn results in a higher current
draw from the supply (ICC).
The power dissipation in the chip is calculated as the
product of supply current times supply voltage, subtracting
the power dissipated in the external termination resistor2:
PDIS = (VCC x ICC) – (VOD2/RLOAD)
Use the Typical Operation Characteristics to determine
the supply current at a given supply voltage and data rate.
For example, assuming a data rate of 20Mbps with a 5V
supply on a fully loaded bus (RL = 60Ω), we can calculate
that the power dissipation (at room temperature) is:
PDIS = (5V x 70mA) – (4.3V2/60Ω) = 42mW
Ensure that power dissipation of the transceiver is kept
below the value listed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
section to protect the device from entering thermal shutdown or from damage. If the calculated power dissipation
nears the specified limits, select a package with a lower
thermal resistance which also allows for higher power
dissipation.

The major difference between tests done using the HBM
and IEC 61000-4-2 is higher peak current in IEC 610004-2 because series resistance is lower in the IEC 610004-2 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage measured
to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally lower than that measured
using the HBM. Figure 12 shows the IEC 61000-4-2
model and Figure 13 shows the current waveform for IEC
