DESCRIPTION
The SP4082E is designed for reliable, bidirectional communication on multipoint bus transmission
lines. The device contains one differential driver and one differential receiver. It is a half-duplex device. The device complys with TIA/EIA-485 and TIA/EIA-422 standards. Lead-free and RoHS compliant packages are available.
This device is ruggedized for use in harsh operating conditions over the entire common-mode voltage range from -7V to +12V. Receivers are specially designed to fail-safe to a logic high output state
if the inputs are un-driven or shorted. All RS-485 bus-pins are protected against severe ESD events
up to ±15kV (Human Body Model). Drivers are protected from excess current flow caused by bus
contention or output short-circuits by both an internal current limit and a thermal-overload shutdown.
Devices are rated for industrial (-40 to +85ºC) operating temperatures. Receivers have exceptionally
high input impedance, which places only 1/8th the standard load on a shared bus. Up to 256 transceivers may coexist while preserving full signal margin.
The device operates from a single 5.0V power supply and draws negligible quiescent power. The
device has an independent enable and disable for the driver and receiver and will enter a low power
shutdown mode if both driver and receiver are disabled. All outputs maintain high impedance during
shutdown or when powered-off.

Notes:
1. Change in Magnitude of Differential Output Voltage and Change in Magnitude of Common Mode Output Voltage are the changes in output voltage when DI input changes state.
2. The transceivers are put into shutdown by bringing RE high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 50ns the device does not enter shutdown. If the enable inputs
are held in this state for at least 600ns the device is assured to be in shutdown. In this low power mode most circuitry is disabled and supply current is typically 1nA.

DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The SP4082E is a 5V half-duplex RS-485 transceiver.
the SP4082E is characterized for protection to
the following limits:
±15kV using the Human Body Model
The SP4082E contains one driver and one receiver. These devices feature fail-safe circuitry
that will guarantee a logic-high receiver output
when the receiver inputs are open or shorted.
ESD TEST CONDITIONS
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions. Contact Sipex for a reliability report
that documents test setup, methodology and
results.
The SP4082E features reduced slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 115kbps.
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.
It operates from a single 5.0V 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.
256 TRANSCEIVERS ON THE BUS
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ (1 unit load). A standard driver
can drive up to 32 unit loads. The SP4032E has
only a 1/8th unit load receiver input impedance
(96kΩ), thereby allowing eight times as many,
up to 256, transceivers to be connected in parallel on a communication line. Any combination
of these devices and other RS-485 transceivers
up to a total of 32 unit loads may be connected
to the line.
Receiver FAILSAFE
Ordinary RS-485 differential receivers will be in
an indeterminate state whenever A - B is less
than ±200mV. This situation can occur whenever the data bus is not being actively driven.
The Failsafe feature guarantees a logic-high receiver output if the receiver’s differential inputs
are shorted or open-circuit.
LOW POWER SHUTDOWN MODE
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both RE high and DE low simultaneously.
While in shutdown devices typically draw only
50nA of supply current. DE and RE may be tied
together and driven by a single control signal.
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 600ns, the
parts are shutdown.
The receiver thresholds of the SP4082E are
very precise and offset by at least a 40mV noise
margin from ground. This results in a logic-high
receiver output at zero volts input differential
while maintaining compliance with the EIA/TIA485 standard of ±200mV.
±15KV ESD PROTECTION
ESD-protection structures are incorporated on
all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The driver output and receiver inputs have extra protection against static electricity. Sipex
uses state of the 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 SP4082E
keeps working without latch-up or damage.
Enable times tZH and tZL apply when the part is
not in low-power shutdown state. Enable times
tZH(SHDN) and tZL(SHDN) apply when the parts
are shut down. The drivers and receivers take
longer to become enabled from low power shutdown mode tZL(SHDN) and tZL(SHDN) than from
driver/receiver-disable mode (tZH, tZL).
DRIVER OUTPUT PROTECTION
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and power dissipation caused by faults or
by bus contention. First, a driver current limit
on the output stage provides immediate protec-
ESD protection can be tested in various ways.
The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of

DESCRIPTION
tion against short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range. Second, a thermalshutdown circuit forces the driver outputs into
a high-impedance state if junction temperature
becomes excessive.
LINE LENGTH, EMI, AND REFLECTIONS
It features controlled slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated cables.
Driver rise and fall times are limited to no faster
than 667ns, allowing error-free data transmission up to 115kbps.
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line
lengths up to 4,000ft. Maximum achievable
line length is a function of signal attenuation
and noise. Use of slew-controlled drivers may
help to reduce crosstalk interference and permit
communication over longer transmission lines.
Termination prevents reflections by eliminating
the impedance mismatches on a transmission
line. Line termination is typically used if rise and
fall times are shorter than the round-trip signal
propagation time. Slew-limited drivers may reduce or eliminate the need for cable termination
in many applications.
