APPLICATION INFORMATION
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX485 is half-duplex differential transceiver that meets the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422.
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.
DRIVERS
The driver outputs of the MAX485 are differential outputs meeting the RS-485 and RS-422 standards.
The typical voltage output swing with no load will be 0 Volts to +5 Volts. With worst case loading of 54Ω
across the differential outputs, the drivers can maintain greater than 1.5V voltage levels. The drivers of
the MAX485 have an enable control line which is active HIGH. A logic HIGH on DE (pin 3) will enable the
differential driver outputs. A logic LOW on the DE(pin 3) will tri-state the driver output. The transmitters of
the MAX485 will operate up to at least 5Mbps.
RECEIVERS
The MAX485 receiver has differential inputs with an input sensitivity as low as ±200mV. Input impedance
of the receivers is typically 15kΩ (12kΩ minimum). A wide common mode range of -7V to +12V allows for
large ground potential differences between systems. The receivers of the MAX485 have a tri-state enable
control pin. A logic LOW on RE* (pin 2) will enable the receiver, a logic HIGH on RE*(pin 2) will disable
the receiver. The receiver for the MAX485 will operate up to at least 5Mbps. The receiver 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.
