The MAX3483/MAX3485/MAX3486/MAX3488/MAX3490/
MAX3491 are low-power transceivers for RS-485 and
RS-422 communications. The MAX3483 and MAX3488
can transmit and receive at data rates up to 250kbps,
the MAX3486 at up to 2.5Mbps, and the MAX3485/
MAX3490/MAX3491 at up to 10Mbps. The MAX3488/
MAX3490/MAX3491 are full-duplex transceivers, while
the MAX3483/MAX3485/MAX3486 are half-duplex.
Driver Enable (DE) and Receiver Enable (RE) pins are
included on the MAX3483/MAX3485/MAX3486/
MAX3491. When disabled, the driver and receiver out-
puts are high impedance.
The MAX3483/MAX3488 are slew-rate limited, minimiz-
ing EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly
terminated cables. Figure 13 shows both the driver
output waveform of a MAX3485/MAX3490/MAX3491
transmitting a 125kHz signal and the Fourier analysis of
that waveform. High-frequency harmonics with large
amplitudes are evident. Figure 14 shows the same infor-
mation, but for the slew-rate-limited MAX3483/MAX3488
transmitting the same signal. The high-frequency har-
monics have much lower amplitudes, and the potential for
EMI is significantly reduced.
A low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. The devices will not shut down
unless both the driver and receiver are disabled (high
impedance). In shutdown, the devices typically draw
only 2nA of supply current.
For these devices, the t
assume the part was in the low-power shutdown mode;
the t
driver was disabled, but the part was not shut down.
