Full Duplex
The SP3080E-SP3088E family of RS-485 devices are designed for reliable, bidirectional commu-
nication on multipoint bus transmission lines. Each device contains one differential driver and one
differential receiver. The SP3082E, SP3085E and SP3088E are half-duplex devices; other part num-
bers are full-duplex. All devices comply with TIA/EIA-485 and TIA/EIA-422 standards. Lead-free and
RoHS compliant packages are available for all models.
These devices are ruggedized for use in harsh operating conditions over the entire common-mode
voltage range from -7V to +12V. Receivers are specially designed to fail-safe to a logic high output
state if the inputs are left un-driven or shorted. All RS-485 bus-pins are protected against severe ESD
events up to ±15kV (Air-Gap and Human Body Model) and up to ±8kV Contact Discharge (IEC 1000-
4-2). Drivers are protected from excess current flow caused by bus contention or output short-circuits
by both an internal current limit and a thermal-overload shutdown. Devices are rated for industrial
(-40 to +85ºC) operating temperatures. Receivers have exceptionally high input impedance, which
places only 1/8th the standard load on a shared bus. Up to 256 transceivers may coexist while pre-
serving full signal margin.
All devices operate from a single 5.0V power supply and draw negligible quiescent power. All ver-
sions except the SP3081E, SP3084E, and SP3087E may independently enable and disable their
driver and receiver and enter a low power shutdown mode if both driver and receiver are disabled.
All outputs maintain high impedance in shutdown or when powered-off.

Receiver Output. When
RE
is low
and if (A – B) ≥ -40mV, RO is high.
If (A – B) ≤ - 200mV, RO is low.
Receiver Output Enable. When
RE
is low, RO is enabled. When
RE
is high, RO is high impedance.
Drive
RE
high and DE low to enter
shutdown mode.

input.
Driver Output Enable. When DE
is high, outputs are enabled.
When DE is low, outputs are high
impedance. Drive DE low and
RE
high to enter shutdown mode. DE
is a hot-swap input.
Driver Input. With DE high, a low
level on DI forces non-inverting
output low and inverting output
high. A high level on DI forces non-
inverting output high and inverting
output low.

Notes:
1. Change in Magnitude of Differential Output Voltage and Change in Magnitude of Common Mode Output Voltage are the changes in output voltage when DI input changes state.
2. Except devices which don’t have DE or
RE
inputs.
3. The transceivers are put into shutdown by bringing
RE
high and DE low. If the inputs are in this state for less than 50ns the device does not enter shutdown. If the enable inputs
are held in this state for at least 600ns the device is assured to be in shutdown. In this low power mode most circuitry is disabled and supply current is typically 1nA.
4.Characterized, not 100% tested.
5. See Driver Short Circuit Limit Test Circuit.
