UM3483E/UM3486E
3V to 5.5V-Powered, ±15kV ESD-Protected,
Slew-Rate-Limited, True RS-485 Transceivers
UM3483E/UM3486E SOP8/DIP8
General Description
The UM3483E, UM3486E are 3V to 5.5V-powered, ±15kV ESD-protected, slew-rate-limited
differential transceivers which provide full RS485 compatibility. Each part contains one driver
and one receiver, which is designed for data transmission with extended common mode range
(-7V to 12V). The UM3483E features slew-rate-limited driver which minimizes EMI and reduces
reflections resulted from improperly terminated cables. The UM3483E allows up to 500kbps
error-free data transmission, while the partially slew-rate-limited UM3486E transmits at data rates
up to 2.5Mbps.
The UM3483E, UM3486E also feature enhanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. All of
the transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using IEC61000-4-2 Air-Gap
Discharge, ±15kV using the Human Body Model and ±8kV using IEC61000-4-2 Contact
Discharge.
Drivers are short-circuit current limited. When the driver outputs are placed into a
high-impedance state by thermal shutdown circuitry, drivers are protected against excessive
power dissipation. And the fail-safe feature of the receiver input guarantees a logic-high output if
both inputs are open, shorted or idle.
Both parts have power up/down mode, the glitch-free driver outputs permit live insertion or
removal of the transceiver into/from the data bus. The CMOS design offers significant power
savings without sacrificing ruggedness against overload or ESD damage. The typical quiescent
current is only 300μA during operation and 1μA in shutdown mode.
The UM3483E, UM3486E are intended for half-duplex communication and are available in SOP8
and DIP8 packages.
