Applications Information
256 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ (one-unit load), and the standard
driver can drive up to 32 unit loads. The
KY485LEEN family of transceivers have a 1/8unit-load receiver input impedance (96kΩ),
allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one communication line. Any
combination of these devices and/or other RS485 transceivers with a total of 32 unit loads or
less can be connected to the line.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by
bringing both RE- high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices typically draw only 2uA of
supply current.
RE- and DE may be driven simultaneously;
the parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown if
is high and DE is low for less than 50ns. If
the inputs are in this state for at least 600ns,
the parts are guaranteed to enter shutdown.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
KY485LEEN is slew-rate limited, minimizing
EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly terminated cables.
Driver Output Protection
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output
current and power dissipation caused by faults
or by bus contention. The first, a fold-back current limit on the output stage, provides immediate protection against short circuits over the
whole common-mode voltage range (see Typical Operating Characteristics). The second, a
thermal shutdown circuit, forces the driver
outputs into a high-impedance state if the die
temperature becomes excessive.
Fail-Safe
The KY485LEEN guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are
shorted or open, or when they are connected
to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. This is done by setting the receiver threshold between -50mV and -200mV.
If the differential receiver input voltage (A-B) is
greater than or equal to -50mV, RO is logic
high. If A-B is less than or equal to -200mV,
RO is logic low. In the case of a terminated
bus with all transmitters disabled, the receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled to 0V by
the termination. With the receiver thresholds
of KY485LEEN, this results in a logic high with
KY485LEEN Rev1.0
ESD-Enhanced, Fail-safe, Slew-Rate-limited
RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
a 50mV minimum noise margin. Unlike previous fail-safe devices, the -50mV to -200mV
threshold complies with the ±200mV EIA/TIA485 standard.
Hot-Swap Capability
When circuit boards are inserted into a hot or
powered back plane, differential disturbances
to the data bus can lead to data errors. Upon
initial circuit-board insertion, the data communication processor undergoes its own powerup sequence. During this period, the processor’s logic-output drivers are high impedance
and are unable to drive the DI and RE- inputs
of these devices to a defined logic level.
Leakage currents up to ±10μA from the highimpedance state of the processor’s logic drivers could cause standard CMOS enable inputs of a transceiver to drift to an incorrect logic level.
Additionally, parasitic circuit-board capacitance could cause coupling of VCC or GND to
the enable inputs. Without the hot-swap capability, these factors could improperly enable
the transceiver’s driver.
To overcome both these problems, When VCC
rises, an internal power-up signal Turn from
low to high and keeps about 20uS then turns
to low. During the 20uS high stage, this signal
controls the internal logic to force to disable
the driver and enable the receiver regardless
the state of the DE and RE-.
ESD Protection
As with all KEYSEMI devices, ESD-protection
structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during handing and assembly. The driver
outputs and receiver inputs of KY485LEEN
have extra protection against static electricity.
KEYSEMI’s engineers have developed stateof-the-art structures to protect these pins
against ESD of ±20kV without damage. The
ESD structures withstand high ESD in all
states: normal operation shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event the
KY485LEEN keep working without latch-up or
damage.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways.
The transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of
the KY485LEEN are characterized for protection to the following limits:
±20kV using the Human Body Model
±20kV using the Air Gap Discharge
Method specified in IEC61000-4-2
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of
KEYSEMI CORPORATION

conditions. Contact GIC for a reliability report
that documents test setup, test methodology,
and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 10a shows the Human Body Model,
and Figure10b shows the current waveform it
generates when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and performance of finished equipment.
However, it does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The KY485LEEN help you design equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-2 without the need for additional ESD-protection
components.
The major difference between tests done using the
Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 is
higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2 because
series resistance is lower in the IEC 61000-42 model. Hence, the ESD withstand voltage
measured to IEC 61000-4-2 is generally lower
than that measured using the Human Body
ESD-Enhanced, Fail-safe, Slew-Rate-limited
RS-485/RS-422 Transceivers
Model. Figure 10c shows the IEC 61000-4-2
model, and Figure 10d shows the current
waveform for IEC61000-4-2 ESD Contact Discharge test.
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. Of course, all pins require this protection, not just RS-485 inputs and outputs. The
Air-Gap test involves approaching the device
with a charged probe. The Contact-Discharge
method connects the probe to the device before the probe is energized.
Typical Applications
The KY485LEEN transceiver is designed for
bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus transmission lines. Figure 11 shows
typical network applications circuits.
To minimize reflections, the line should be
terminated at both ends in its characteristic
impedance, and stub lengths off the main line
should be kept as short as possible.
