SP483 / SP485
Low Power Half-Duplex RS-485 Transceivers
FEATURES
• +5V Only
• Low Power BiCMOS
• Driver / Receiver Enable
• Slew Rate Limited Driver for Low EMI (SP483)
• Low Power Shutdown mode (SP483)
• RS-485 and RS-422 Drivers/Receivers
DESCRIPTION
The SP483 and SP485 are a family of half-duplex transceivers that meet the specifications
of RS-485 and RS-422. Their BiCMOS design allows low power operation without sacrificing
performance. The SP485 meets the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422 up to 5Mbps. Additionally, the SP483 is equipped with a low power Shutdown mode. The SP483 is internally
slew rate limited to reduce EMI and can meet the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422 up
to 250kbps.

DESCRIPTION
Receivers
SP483 and SP485
The SP483 and SP485 are half-duplex differential transceivers that meet the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422. Fabricated
with an Exar proprietary BiCMOS process,
this product requires a fraction of the power
of older bipolar designs.
The SP483 and SP485 receivers have 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
SP483 and SP485 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 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.
The receiver for the SP485 will operate up
to at least 10Mbps. The SP483 receiver
is rated for data rates up to 250kbps. The
receiver for each of the three devices is
equipped with the fail-safe feature. Failsafe guarantees that the receiver output
will be in a HIGH state when the input is
left unconnected and floating.
Drivers
SP483 and SP485
The driver outputs of the SP483 and SP485
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 SP483 and SP485 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 outputs.
Shutdown Mode
SP483
The SP483 is equipped with a Shutdown
mode. To enable the shutdown state, both
driver and receiver must be disabled simultaneously. A logic LOW on DE (pin 3) and a
Logic HIGH on RE (pin 2) will put the SP483
into Shutdown mode. In Shutdown, supply
current will drop to typically 1µA.
The transmitters of the SP485 will operate up
to at least 5Mbps. The SP483 has internally
slew rate limited driver outputs to minimize
EMI. The maximum data rate for the SP483
driver is 250kbps.
