3.3V Slew Rate Limited,
Half and Full Duplex
Preliminary Technical Data
ADM3483/ADM3485/ADM3488/ADM3490
logic-high output if both inputs are open circuit. The ADM3488
and ADM3490 feature full duplex communication, while the
ADM3483 and ADM3485 are designed for half-duplex
communication.
The driver outputs are slew rate limited in order to reduce EMI
and data errors caused by reflections from improperly
terminated buses. Excessive power dissipation caused by bus
contention or by output shorting is prevented with a thermal
shutdown circuit.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM3483, ADM3485, ADM3488 and ADM3490 are 3.3V,
low-power transceivers for RS-485 and RS-422 communication.
Each part contains one driver and one receiver. The ADM3483
and ADM3488 feature slew-rate-limited drivers that minimize
EMI and reduce reflections caused by improperly terminated
cables, allowing error-free data transmission at data rates up to
250kbps. The partially slew-rate-limited MAX3486 transmits up
to 2.5Mbps. The ADM3485 and ADM3490 transmit at up to
10Mbps.

The drivers are short-circuit current limited and are protected
against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown
circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance
state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a
Part No.
