General Description
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 low-power, high-
speed transmitters for RS-485/RS-422 commu-
nication operate from a single +3.3V power supply.
These devices contain one differential transmitter.
The MAX3295 transmitter operates at data rates up
to 20Mbps, with an output skew of less than 5ns, and
a guaranteed driver propagation delay below 25ns.
The MAX3293 (250kbps) and MAX3294 (2.5Mbps) are
slew-rate limited to minimize EMI and reduce reflections
caused by improperly terminated cables.
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 output level is guar-
anteed at +1.5V with a standard 54 load, compliant
with RS-485 specifications. The transmitter draws 5mA
of supply current when unloaded, and 1µA in low-power
shutdown mode (DE = GND).
Hot-swap circuitry eliminates false transitions on the data
cable during circuit initialization or connection to a live
backplane, and short-circuit current limiting and ther-
mal-shutdown circuitry protect the driver against exces-
sive power dissipation.
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 are offered in a
6-pin SOT23 package, and are specified over the
automotive temperature range.

Pin Description
Typical Operating Characteristics (continued)
Detailed Description
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 are low-power trans-
mitters for RS-485/RS-422 communication. The MAX3295
operates at data rates up to 20Mbps, the MAX3294 up
to 2.5Mbps (slew-rate limited), and the MAX3293 up to
250kbps (slew-rate limited). These devices are enabled
using an active-high driver enable (DE) input. When
disabled, outputs enter a high-impedance state, and the
supply current reduces to 1µA.
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 have a hot-swap input
structure that prevents disturbance on the differential signal
lines when a circuit board is plugged into a “hot” back-
plane (see the Hot-Swap Capability section). Drivers are
also short-circuit current limited and are protected against
excessive power dissipation by thermal-shutdown circuitry.
Driver
The driver accepts a single-ended, logic-level input
(DI) and translates it to a differential RS-485/RS-422
level output (Y and Z). Driving DE high enables the
driver, while pulling DE low places the driver outputs
(Y and Z) into a high-impedance state (see Table 1).
Low-Power Shutdown
Force DE low to disable the MAX3293/MAX3294/
MAX3295. In shutdown mode, the device consumes a
maximum of 10µA of supply current.
Hot-Swap Capability
Hot-Swap Input
When circuit boards are inserted into a “hot” or pow-
ered backplane, disturbances to the enable can lead
to data errors. Upon initial circuit board insertion, the
processor undergoes its power-up sequence. During
this period, the output drivers are high impedance
and are unable to drive the DE input of the MAX3293/
MAX3294/MAX3295 to a defined logic level. Leakage
currents up to 10µA from the high-impedance out-
put could cause DE to drift to an incorrect logic state.
Additionally, parasitic circuit board capacitance could
cause coupling of VCC or GND to DE. These factors could
improperly enable the driver.
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 eliminate all above
issues with hot-swap circuitry. When VCC rises, an inter-
nal pulldown circuit holds DE low for approximately 10µs.
After the initial power-up sequence, the pulldown circuit
becomes transparent, resetting the hot-swap tolerable
input.

Hot-Swap Input Circuitry
The MAX3293/MAX3294/MAX3295 enable input fea-
tures hot-swap capability. At the input, there are two
NMOS devices, M1 and M2 (Figure 6). When VCC
ramps from zero, an internal 10µs timer turns on
M2 and sets the SR latch, which also turns on M1.
Transistors M2, a 2mA current sink, and M1, a 100µA
current sink, pull DE to GND through a 5.6k resistor.
M2 is designed to pull DE to the disabled state against
an external parasitic capacitance up to 100pF that may
drive DE high. After 10µs, the timer deactivates M2
while M1 remains on, holding DE low against three-
state leakages that can drive DE high. M1 remains on
until an external source overcomes the required input
current. At this time, the SR latch resets and M1 turns
off. When M1 turns off, DE reverts to a standard,
high-impedance CMOS input. Whenever VCC drops
below 1V, the hot-swap input is reset.
Hot-Swap Line Transient
During a hot-swap event when the driver is connected to
the line and is powered up, the driver must not cause the
differential signal to drop below 200mV. Figures 7, 8, and
9 show the results of the MAX3295 during power-up for
three different VCC ramp rates (0.1V/µs, 1V/µs, and 10V/
µs). The photos show the VCC ramp, the single-ended
signal on each side of the 100 termination, as well as
the differential signal across the termination.
ESD Protection
Human Body Model
Figure 10 shows the Human Body Model, and Figure 11
shows the current waveform it generates when discharged
into low impedance. This model consists of a 100pF capac-
itor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which is then
discharged into the device through a 1.5k resistor.

Reduced EMI and Reections
(MAX3293/MAX3294)
The MAX3293/MAX3294 are slew-rate limited, minimizing
EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly ter-
minated cables. Figure 12 shows Fourier analysis of the
MAX3295 transmitting a 125kHz signal. High-frequency
harmonics with large amplitudes are evident. Figure 13
shows the same information, but for the slew-rate-limited
MAX3293, transmitting the same signal. The high-fre-
quency harmonics have much lower amplitudes, and the
potential for EMI is significantly reduced.
To minimize reflections, the line should be terminated at
both ends in its characteristic impedance, and stub lengths
off the main line should be kept as short as possible. The
slew-rate-limited MAX3293 and MAX3294 are more toler-
ant of imperfect termination.
Driver-Output Protection
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and
power dissipation caused by faults or by bus contention.
The first, a foldback current limit on the output stage,
provides immediate protection against short circuits over
the whole common-mode voltage range (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics). The second, a thermal-shut-
down circuit, forces the driver outputs into a high-imped-
ance state if the die temperature exceeds +160°C.
