XR33202
Wide Supply RS-485/RS-422 Transceiver
with 1.65V-5.5V I/O Interface
Description
The XR33202 is a high performance RS-485/RS-422 transceiver
designed to meet the increasing system requirements found in
today’s portable/handheld, process control and industrial equipment
environments. This is a wide supply (3.0V to 5.5V) device that operates
at maximum data rate of 20Mbps and features a 1.65V to 5.5V I/O logic
supply, simplifying multi-voltage system interfacing requirements.
The receiver includes full fail-safe circuitry, guaranteeing a logichigh receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted or
undriven. The XR33202 receiver input impedance is at least 96kΩ
(1/8 unit load), allowing more than 256 devices on the bus.
The driver is protected by short circuit detection as well as thermal
shutdown and maintains high impedance in shutdown or when
powered off. The XR33202 does not have slew limiting and is intended
for high speed applications requiring data rates up to 20Mbps.
The DE and RE pins include hot swap circuitry to prevent false
transitions on the bus during power up or live insertion and can enter
a 1µA low current shutdown mode for extreme power savings.
The XR33202 is a half-duplex device that operates at max data rates
of 20Mbps. It is available in a 10-pin DFN package.

XR33202
Applications Information (Continued)
The XR33202 RS-485/RS-422 devices are part of
MaxLinear’s high performance serial interface product line.
Enhanced Failsafe
Ordinary RS-485 differential receivers will be in an
indeterminate state whenever the data bus is not being
actively driven. The enhanced failsafe feature of the
XR33202 guarantees a logic-high receiver output when
the receiver inputs are open, shorted or when they are
connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers
disabled. In a terminated bus with all transmitters disabled,
the receivers’ differential input voltage is pulled to 0V by the
termination. The XR33202 interprets 0V differential as a logic
high with a minimum 50mV noise margin while maintaining
compliance with the RS-485 standard of ±200mV. Although
the XR33202 does not need failsafe biasing resistors, it can
operate without issue if biasing is used.
Hot Swap Capability
When VCC is first applied the XR33202 holds the driver
enable and receiver enable inactive for approximately
10μs. During power ramp-up, other system ICs may drive
unpredictable values or tristated lines may be influenced
by stray capacitance. The hot swap feature prevents the
XR33202 from driving any output signal until power has
stabilized. After the initial 10μs, the driver and receiver
enable pins are weakly pulled to their disabled states (low
for DE and high for RE) until the first transition. After the first
transition, the DE and RE pins operate as high impedance
inputs.
If circuit boards are inserted into an energized backplane
(commonly called “live insertion” or “hot swap”) power
may suddenly be applied to all circuits. Without the hot
swap capability, this situation could improperly enable the
transceiver’s driver or receiver, driving invalid data onto
shared buses and possibly causing driver contention or
device damage.
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 protection against short circuits over the whole
common-mode voltage range. Second, a thermal shutdown
circuit forces the driver outputs into a high impedance state
if junction temperature becomes excessive.
Line Length
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers cable lengths up to
4000 feet. Maximum achievable line length for a specific
application is a function of many factors, the data rate,
cable properties, the driver/receiver characteristics and
whether or not termination or stubs are used. For lower
speed applications, data rates
