TP485E
±18K ESD Protection, Bus-Polarity Correcting RS-485 Transceiver
Detailed Description
The TP485E half-duplex RS-485 transceiver features automatic polarity correction on the RS-485 bus lines. This device also
includes fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted, or
when connected to a terminated transmission line with all drivers disabled. Hot-swap capability on the enable inputs allows
line insertion without erroneous data transfer and controlled slew-rate drivers minimize EMI and reduce reflections caused by
improperly terminated cables, allowing error-free data transmission up to 250 kbps. The TP485E features short-circuit current
limits on the driver and receiver outputs and thermal shutdown circuitry to protect against excessive power dissipation.
Automatic Polarity Detection
The TP485E is designed to detect and correct installation-based connections on RS-485 lines. With the driver disabled,
internal detection circuitry samples the voltages at the A and B inputs during an idle period (100ms, typ) and configures the
driver and receiver for the detected polarity. Polarity is swapped only when |VA – VB| > 75mV for the idle period. The A/B line
polarity can be defined by a pull up and pull down resistor pair on the A/B lines, for example, in the RS-485 Half duplex
master terminal (see the Typical Operating Circuit). When the polarity is normal, A is the non inverting receiver input/driver
output and B is the inverting input/output. When the polarity is inverted, A is the inverting input/output and B is the non
inverting input/output.
To allow the bus to define A/B polarity, connect one pull up/pull down resistor pair to the bus to set the bus status during the
idle periods. It is preferable to locate the resistor pair in the bus master, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Polarity Definition
Hot Plug Function
When a piece of equipment powers up, there is a period of time where the processor or ASIC driving the RS-485 control lines (DE,
RE) is unable to ensure that the RS-485 Tx and Rx outputs are kept disabled. If the equipment is connected to the bus, a driver
activating prematurely during power-up may crash the bus. To avoid this scenario, the TP485E devices incorporate a “Hot Plug”
function. Circuitry monitoring VCC ensures that, during power-up and power-down, the Tx and Rx outputs remain disabled,
regardless of the state of DE and RE, if VCC is less than ~2.5V. This gives the processor/ASIC a chance to stabilize and drive the
RS-485 control lines to the proper states.

ESD Protection
All pins on these devices include class 3 (>7 kV) 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 ±18 kV HBM and
±13 kV (1/2 duplex) IEC61000-4-2. 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 eliminates the need for board level
protection structures (e.g., transient suppression diodes), and the associated, undesirable capacitive load they present.
Transient Protection
The bus terminals of the TP485E transceiver family possess on-chip ESD protection against ±18 kV HBM and ±13 kV IEC61000-4-2
contact discharge. The International Electrotechnical Commision (IEC) ESD test is far more severe than the HBM ESD test. The
50% higher charge capacitance, CS, and 78% lower discharge resistance, RD of the IEC model produce significantly higher
discharge currents than the HBM model.
As stated in the IEC 61000-4-2 standard, contact discharge is the preferred transient protection test method. Although IEC air-gap
testing is less repeatable than contact testing, air discharge protection levels are inferred from the contact discharge test results.

Figure 9.
HBM and IEC-ESD Models and Currents in Comparison (HBM Values in Parenthesis)
The on-chip implementation of IEC ESD protection significantly increases the robustness of equipment. Common discharge events
occur because of human contact with connectors and cables. Designers may choose to implement protection against longer
duration transients, typically referred to as surge transients. Figure 9 suggests two circuit designs providing protection against short
and long duration surge transients, in addition to ESD and Electrical Fast Transients (EFT) transients. Table 1 lists the bill of
materials for the external protection devices.
EFTs are generally caused by relay-contact bounce or the interruption of inductive loads. Surge transients often result from lightning
strikes (direct strike or an indirect strike which induce voltages and currents), or the switching of power systems, including load
changes and short circuits switching. These transients are often encountered in industrial environments, such as factory automation
and power-grid systems. Figure 10 compares the pulse-power of the EFT and surge transients with the power caused by an IEC
ESD transient. In the diagram on the left of Figure 10, the tiny blue blip in the bottom left corner represents the power of a 10-kV ESD
transient, which already dwarfs against the significantly higher EFT power spike, and certainly dwarfs against the 500-V surge
transient. This type of transient power is well representative of factory environments in industrial and process automation. The
diagram on the fright of Figure 10 compares the enormous power of a 6-kV surge transient, most likely occurring in e-metering
applications of power generating and power grid systems, with the aforementioned 500-V surge transient.
Figure 10. Power Comparison of ESD, EFT, and Surge Transients
In the case of surge transients, high-energy content is signified by long pulse duration and slow decaying pulse Power The electrical
energy of a transient that is dumped into the internal protection cells of the transceiver is converted into thermal energy. This thermal

energy heats the protection cells and literally destroys them, thus destroying the transceiver. Figure 11 shows the large differences
in transient energies for single ESD, EFT, and surge transients as well as for an EFT pulse train, commonly applied during
compliance testing.
