UM3352E
±15kV ESD-Protected, Slew-Rate-Limited, Fail-Safe,
True RS-485 Transceivers
UM3352E SOP8/DIP8
General Description
The UM3352E series are ±15kV ESD-protected, high-speed, half-duplex transceivers for RS-485
communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The device features fail-safe circuitry,
which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open, shorted or idle.
This means that the receiver output will be logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are
disabled (high impedance). The UM3352E features reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI
and reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data
transmission up to 500kbps. It also features enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and
receiver inputs incorporate advanced structures allowing them to survive ESD events in excess of
±15kV Human Body Mode and IEC61000-4-2 Air Discharge Mode, ±8kV IEC61000-4-2 Contact
Discharge Mode. New ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is powered up and
without degrading the RS-485 common mode range of -7V to 12V. The UM3352E includes a hot
swap circuit inside, which allows live cable insertion and removal. Proprietary protection circuit
built on A and B ports, can dissipate high surge current up to 6A to ground.
The transceivers typically draw 450μA of supply current when unloaded, or when fully loaded with
the drivers disabled. The device has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256
transceivers on the bus and are intended for half-duplex communications.

Detail Description
The UM3352E high-speed transceivers for RS-485 communication contain one driver and one
receiver. The device features fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when
the receiver input is open or shorted, or when it is connected to a terminated transmission line with
all drivers disabled. The UM3352E features reduced slew-rate driver that minimizes EMI and
reduces reflections caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up
to 500kbps. It operates from a single +5V 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.
Fail-Safe
The UM3352E 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 the UM3352E, this results in a logic high with a 50mV minimum noise margin. Unlike previous
fail-safe devices, the -50mV to -200mV threshold complies with the ±200mV EIA/TIA-485
standard.

UM3352E
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 Union family of transceivers have a 1/8 unit load receiver input
impedance (96kΩ), allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected in parallel on one
communication line. Any combination of these devices, as well as other RS-485 transceivers with a
total of 32 unit loads or fewer, can be connected to the line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The UM3352E is slew-rate limited, minimizing EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly
terminated cables. In general, a transmitter’s rise time relates directly to the length of an
unterminated stub, which can be driven with only minor waveform reflections. The following
equation expresses this relationship conservatively:
Length=tRISE/(10×1.5ns/ft)
Where tRISE is the transmitter’s rise time.
A system can work well with longer unterminated stubs, even with severe reflections, if the
waveform settles out before the receiver’s UART samples them.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
______
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing______
both R E high and DE low. In shutdown, the
device typically draws only 2µA of supply current.
R E and DE may be driven simultaneously; the
______
parts are guaranteed not to enter shutdown if R E 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. Enable times tZH
and tZL in the Switching Characteristics tables assume the part was not in a low-power shutdown
state. Enable times tZH(SHDN) and tZL(SHDN) assume the parts were shut down. It takes drivers and
receivers longer to become enabled from low-power shutdown mode (tZH(SHDN), 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. The first, a foldback current limit on the output stage, provides immediate protection
against short circuits over the whole common-mode voltage range. The second, a thermal shutdown
circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-impedance state if the die temperature becomes
excessive.
Line Length vs. Data Rate
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to 4000 feet. For line lengths greater than 4000
feet, repeater is required.
ESD Protection
All pins on these devices include class 2 (>2kV) Human Body Model (HBM) ESD protection
structures, but the RS-485 pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) incorporate advanced structures
allowing them to survive ESD events in excess of ±15kV HBM, ±15kV IEC61000-4-2 Air
Discharge Mode and ±8kV IEC61000-4-2 Contact Discharge Mode. The RS-485 pins are
particularly vulnerable to ESD strikes because they typically connect to an exposed port on the
exterior of the finished product. Simply touching the port pins, or connecting a cable, can cause an
ESD event that might destroy unprotected ICs.
These new ESD structures protect the device whether or not it is powered up, and without degrading
the RS-485 common mode range of -7V to +12V. This built-in ESD protection cuts the need for
board level protection structures (e.g., transient suppression diodes), and the associated, undesirable
capacitive load they present.

UM3352E
IEC61000-4-2 Testing
The IEC61000 test method applies to finished equipments, rather than to an individual IC. Therefore,
the pins most likely to suffer an ESD event are those that are exposed to the outside world (the
RS-485 pins in this case), and the IC is tested in its typical application configuration (power applied)
rather than testing each pin-to-pin combination. The IEC61000 standard’s lower current limiting
resistor coupled with the larger charge storage capacitor yields a test that is much more severe than
the HBM test.
Air-Gap Discharge Test Method
For this test method, a charged probe tip moves toward the IC pin until the voltage arcs to it. The
current waveform delivered to the IC pin depends on approach speed, humidity, temperature, etc., so
it is difficult to obtain repeatable results. The UM3352E RS-485 pins withstand ±15kV air-gap
discharges.
Contact Discharge Test Method
During the contact discharge test, the probe contacts the tested pin before the probe tip is energized,
thereby eliminating the variables associated with the air-gap discharge. The result is a more
repeatable and predictable test, but equipment limits prevent testing devices at voltages higher than
±8kV. The RS-485 pins of all the UM3352E versions survive ±8kV contact discharges.
Typical Applications
The UM3352E transceivers are designed for bidirectional data communications on multipoint bus
transmission lines. To minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at both ends in its
characteristic impedance, and stub lengths of the main line should be kept as short as possible.
