DS485
Low Power RS-485/RS-422 Multipoint Transceiver
General Description
The DS485 is a low-power transceiver for RS-485 and
RS-422 communication. The device contains one driver and
one receiver. The drivers slew rate allows for operation up to
2.5 Mbps (see Applications Information section).
The transceiver draws 200 µA of supply current when un-
loaded or fully loaded with the driver disabled and operates
from a single +5V supply.
The driver is short-circuit current limited and is protected
against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown
circuitry that places the driver outputs into TRI-STATE
®
(High Impedance state) under fault conditions. The driver
guarantees a minimum of 1.5V differential output voltage
with maximum loading across the common mode range
(V
OD3
).
The receiver has a failsafe feature that guarantees a
logic-high output if the input is open circuit.
The DS485 is available in surface mount and DIP packages
and is characterized for Industrial and Commercial tempera-
ture range operation.

Note 1:
“Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond which the safety of the device cannot be guaranteed. They are not meant to imply that the devices
should be operated at these limits. The table of “Electrical Characteristics” specifies conditions of device operation.
Note 2:
Current into device pins is defined as positive. Current out of device pins is defined as negative. All voltages are referenced to ground except V
OD1/2/3
and
V
ID
.
Note 3:
All typicals are given for: V
CC
= +5.0V, T
A
= +25˚C.
Note 4:
∆|V
OD
| and
∆|V
OC
| are changes in magnitude of V
OD
and V
OC
respectively, that occur when the input changes state.
Note 5:
I
IN2
includes the receiver input current and driver TRI-STATE leakage current.
Note 6:
Supply current specification is valid for loaded transmitters when DE = 0V or enabled (DE = H) with no load.
Note 7:
f = 1 MHz, t
r
and t
f
≤
6 ns, Z
O
= 50Ω.
Note 8:
C
L
includes jig and probe capacitance.
Note 9:
f
max
is the guaranteed data rate for 50 ft of twisted pair cable. f
max
may be conservatively determined from the ratio of driver transition time (t
r
) to the data
rate unit interval (1/f
max
). Using a 10% ratio yields f
max
= (0.1)/40 ns = 2.5 Mb/s. Higher data rates may be supported by allowing larger ratios.
