GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM485 is a differential line transceiver suitable for high
speed bidirectional data communication on multipoint bus
transmission lines. It is designed for balanced data transmission
and complies with EIA standards RS-485 and RS-422. The part
contains a differential line driver and a differential line receiver.
Both the driver and the receiver can be enabled independently.
When disabled, the outputs are three-stated.
The ADM485 operates from a single 5 V power supply.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by
output shorting is prevented by a thermal shutdown circuit. If
during fault conditions, a significant temperature increase is
detected in the internal driver circuitry, this feature forces the
driver output into a high impedance state.
Up to 32 transceivers can be connected simultaneously on a
bus, but only one driver should be enabled at any time. It is
important, therefore, that the remaining disabled drivers do not
load the bus. To ensure this, the ADM485 driver features high
output impedance when disabled and when powered down,
which minimizes the loading effect when the transceiver is not
being used. The high impedance driver output is maintained
over the common-mode voltage range of −7 V to +12 V.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The receiver contains a fail-safe feature that results in a logic
high output state if the inputs are unconnected (floating).
The ADM485 is fabricated on BiCMOS, an advanced mixed
technology process combining low power CMOS with fast
switching bipolar technology. All inputs and outputs contain
protection against ESD; all driver outputs feature high source
and sink current capability. An epitaxial layer is used to guard
against latch-up.
The ADM485 features extremely fast switching speeds. Minimal
driver propagation delays permit transmission at data rates up
to 5 Mbps while low skew minimizes EMI interference.
The part is fully specified over the commercial and industrial
temperature range and is available in 8-lead PDIP, 8-lead SOIC,
and small footprint, 8-lead MSOP packages.

ESD CAUTION
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
