___________Applications Information
These E versions of the MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/
1490EA/MAX1490EB provide extra protection against
ESD. The rugged MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/MAX1490EA/
MAX1490EB are intended for harsh environments where
high-speed communication is important. These devices
eliminate the need for transient suppressor diodes or the
use of discrete protection components. The standard
(non-E) MAX1480A/MAX1480C/MAX1490A/MAX1490B
are recommended for applications where cost is critical.
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures are
incorporated on all pins to protect against electrostatic
discharges encountered during handling and assembly.
The driver outputs and receiver inputs have extra protec-
tion against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers devel-
oped state-of-the-art structures to protect these pins
against ESD of ±15kV without damage. The ESD struc-
tures withstand high ESD in all states: normal operation,
shutdown, and powered down. After an ESD event,
Maxim’s MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/MAX1490EA/
MAX1490EB keep working without latchup. An isolation
capacitor of 270pF 4kV should be placed between ISO
COM and logic ground for optional performance against
an ESD pulse with respect to logic ground.
ESD protection can be tested in various ways; the trans-
mitter outputs and receiver inputs of this product family
are characterized for protection to ±15kV using the
Human Body Model.
The ±15kV ESD test specifications apply only to the A, B,
Y, and Z I/O pins. The test surge may be referenced to
either the ISO COM or to the nonisolated GND (Figures 1
and 2).

Figure 13 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 14
shows the current waveform it generates when dis-
charged into low impedance. This model consists of a
100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest,
which is then discharged into the test device through a
1.5kΩ resistor.
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF
storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its
objective is to simulate the stress caused by contact that
occurs with handling and assembly during manufactur-
ing. All pins require this protection during manufactur-
ing—not just inputs and outputs. Therefore, after PC
board assembly, the Machine Model is less relevant to
I/O ports.
The MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC are designed for bidirec-
tional data communications on multipoint bus-transmis-
sion lines. The MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB are designed
for full-duplex bidirectional communications that are pri-
marily point-to-point. Figures 15 and 16 show half-duplex
and full-duplex typical network application circuits,
respectively. To minimize reflections, terminate the line at
both ends with its characteristic impedance, and keep
stub lengths off the main line as short as possible. The
slew-rate-limited MAX1480EC/MAX1490EB are more tol-
erant of imperfect termination and stubs off the main line.
The MAX1480EA/MAX1480EC/MAX1490EA/MAX1490EB
pinouts enable optimal PC board layout by minimizing
interconnect lengths and crossovers:
