GM488E/GM489E/GM490E/GM491E
Low-Power,RS-485/RS-422
1. Feature
3. General Description
●
The GM488E, GM489E, GM490E and GM491E are
low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS- 422
communication in harsh environments. Each driver
output and receiver input is protected against ±15kV
electrostatic discharge (ESD) shocks without latch-up.
Each part contains one driver and one receiver. The
GM488E and GM489E feature reduced slew-rate drivers
that minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, thus allowing error-free
data transmission up to 1Mbps. The driver slew rates of
the GM490E and GM491E are not limited, allowing
them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps.
These transceivers draw between 120µA and 500µA of
supply current when unloaded or fully loaded with
disabled drivers. All parts operate from a single 5V
supply.
Drivers are short circuit current limited and are
protected against excessive power dissipation by
thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver
outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input
has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high
output if the input is open circuit.

5. Applications Information
The GM488E/GM489E/GM490E and GM491E are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS- 422 communications.
The GM490E and GM491E can transmit and receive at data rates up to 2.5Mbps, while the GM488E and GM489E are
specified for data rates up to 1Mbps. The GM488E–GM491E are full-duplex transceivers. In addition, Driver Enable (DE)
and Receiver Enable (RE) pins are included on the GM489E and GM491E. When disabled, the driver and receiver
outputs are high impedance.
6. ±15kV ESD Protection
ESD-protection structures are incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic discharges (ESD)
encountered during handling and assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs have extra protection against
static electricity. The ESD structures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered
down. After an ESD event, GM488E–GM491E keep working without latch up. ESD protection can be tested in
various ways; the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family are characterized for protection
to ±15kV using the Human Body Model. Other ESD test methodologies include IEC10004-2 contact discharge and
IEC1000-4-2 air-gap discharge.
7. Transceivers on the Bus
The 96kΩ, 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance of the GM488E–GM491E allow up to 256 transceivers on a bus,
compared to the 1-unit load (12kΩ input impedance) of standard RS-485 drivers (32 transceivers Maximum).

12. Driver Output Protection
Excessive output current and power dissipation causedby faults or by bus contention are prevented by two
mechanisms. A current limit on the output stage provides immediate protection against short circuits over
the whole common-mode voltage range. In addition, a thermal shutdown circuit forces the driver outputs
into a high-impedance state if the die temperature rises excessively.
13. Propagation Delay
Many digital encoding schemes depend on the difference between the driver and receiver propagation delay
times. Typical propagation delays are shown in Figure 13–17 using Figure 12 test circuit.
The difference in receiver delay times, | tPLH - tPHL |, is typically under 13ns for GM490E and GM491E, is
typically less than 100ns for the GM488E and GM489E.
The driver skew times are typically 5ns (10ns Max) for the GM490E and GM491E, and are typically 100ns
(800ns Max) for the GM488E and GM489E.

14. Typical Applications
The GM488E–GM491E transceivers are designed for bidirectional data communications on multi point bus
transmission lines. Figure 18 and 19 show typical network applications circuits. These parts can also be used as line
repeaters, with cable lengths longer than 4000 feet, as shown in Figure 20.
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. The slew-rate-limited GM483 and GM488E–GM489E are more
tolerant of imperfect termination. Bypass the VCC pin with 0.1µF
