Ordering Information
General Description
The MAX3080E–MAX3089E are ±15kV electrostatic dis-
charge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for RS-
485/RS-422 communication that contain one driver and
one receiver. These devices feature fail-safe circuitry,
which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the
receiver inputs are open or shorted. This means that the
receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a
terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The
MAX3080E/MAX3081E/MAX3082E feature reduced
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflec-
tions caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission up to 115kbps. The
MAX3083E/MAX3084E/MAX3085E offer higher driver
output slew-rate limits, allowing transmit speeds up to
500kbps. The MAX3086E/MAX3087E/ MAX3088Es’ dri-
ver slew rates are not limited, making transmit speeds
up to 10Mbps possible. The MAX3089E’s slew rate is
selectable between 115kbps, 500kbps, and 10Mbps by
driving a selector pin with a single three-state driver. All
devices feature enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter
outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV
using the Human Body Model.
These transceivers typically draw 375µA of supply
current when unloaded, or when fully loaded with the dri-
vers disabled.
All devices have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance
that allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus. The
MAX3082E/MAX3085E/MAX3088E are intended for half-
duplex communications, while the MAX3080E/MAX3081E/
MAX3083E/MAX3084E/MAX3086E/MAX3087E are
intended for full-duplex communications. The MAX3089E
is selectable between half-duplex and full-duplex opera-
tion. It also features independently programmable
receiver and transmitter output phase via separate pins.

MAX3080E–MAX3089E
Detailed Description
The MAX3080E–MAX3089E high-speed transceivers for
RS-485/RS-422 communication contain one driver and
one receiver. These devices feature fail-safe circuitry,
which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the
receiver inputs are open or shorted, or when they are
connected to a terminated transmission line with all
drivers disabled (see the
Fail-Safe
section). The
MAX3080E/MAX3081E/MAX3082E feature reduced
slew-rate drivers that minimize EMI and reduce reflec-
tions caused by improperly terminated cables, allowing
error-free data transmission up to 115kbps (see the
Reduced EMI and Reflections
section). The
MAX3083E/MAX3084E/MAX3085E offer higher driver
output slew-rate limits, allowing transmit speeds up to
500kbps. The MAX3086E/MAX3087E/MAX3088E’s dri-
ver slew rates are not limited, making transmit speeds
up to 10Mbps possible. The MAX3089E’s slew rate is
selectable between 115kbps, 500kbps, and 10Mbps
by driving a selector pin with a three-state driver.
The MAX3082E/MAX3085E/MAX3088E are half-duplex
transceivers, while the MAX3080E/MAX3081E/
MAX3083E/MAX3084E/MAX3086E/MAX3087E are full-
duplex transceivers. The MAX3089E is selectable
between half- and full-duplex communication by driving
a selector pin high or low, respectively.
All of these parts operate from a single +5V supply.
Drivers are output short-circuit current limited. Thermal
shutdown circuitry protects drivers against excessive
power dissipation. When activated, the thermal shut-
down circuitry places the driver outputs into a high-
impedance state.
Receiver Input Filtering
The receivers of the MAX3080E–MAX3085E, and the
MAX3089E when operating in 115kbps or 500kbps
mode, incorporate input filtering in addition to input
hysteresis. This filtering enhances noise immunity with
differential signals that have very slow rise and fall
times. Receiver propagation delay increases by 20%
due to this filtering.
Fail-Safe
The MAX3080E family guarantees a logic-high receiver
output when the receiver inputs are shorted or open, or
when they are connected to a terminated transmission
line with all drivers disabled. This is done by setting the
receiver threshold between -50mV and -200mV. If the
differential receiver input voltage (A - B) is greater than
or equal to -50mV, RO is logic high. If A - B is less than
or equal to -200mV, RO is logic low. In the case of a
terminated bus with all transmitters disabled, the
receiver’s differential input voltage is pulled to 0V by
the termination. With the receiver thresholds of the
MAX3080E family, this results in a logic high with a
50mV minimum noise margin. Unlike previous fail-safe
devices, the -50mV to -200mV threshold complies with
the ±200mV EIA/TIA-485 standard.
MAX3089E Programming
The MAX3089E has several programmable operating
modes. Transmitter rise and fall times are programma-
ble between 2500ns, 750ns, and 25ns, resulting in
maximum data rates of 115kbps, 500kbps, and
10Mbps, respectively. To select the desired data rate,
drive SRL to one of three possible states by using a
three-state driver, by connecting it to VCC or GND, or
by leaving it unconnected. For 115kbps operation, set
the three-state device in high-impedance mode or
leave SRL unconnected. For 500kbps operation, drive
SRL high or connect it to VCC. For 10Mbps operation,
drive SRL low or connect it to GND. SRL can be
changed during operation without interrupting data
communications.
Occasionally, twisted-pair lines are connected back-
ward from normal orientation. The MAX3089E has two
pins that invert the phase of the driver and the receiver
to correct for this problem. For normal operation, drive
TXP and RXP low, connect them to ground, or leave
them unconnected (internal pulldown). To invert the dri-
ver phase, drive TXP high or connect it to VCC. To
invert the receiver phase, drive RXP high or connect it
to VCC. Note that the receiver threshold is positive
when RXP is high.
The MAX3089E can operate in full- or half-duplex
mode. Drive the H/Fpin low, leave it unconnected
(internal pulldown), or connect it to GND for full-duplex
operation, and drive it high for half-duplex operation. In
full-duplex mode, the pin configuration of the driver and
receiver is the same as that of a MAX3080E (Figure 4).
In half-duplex mode, the receiver inputs are switched to
the driver outputs, connecting outputs Y and Z to inputs
A and B, respectively. In half-duplex mode, the internal
full-duplex receiver input resistors are still connected to
pins 11 and 12.
±15kV ESD Protection
As with all Maxim devices, ESD-protection structures
are incorporated on all pins to protect against electro-
static discharges encountered during handling and
assembly. The driver outputs and receiver inputs of the
MAX3080E–MAX3089E family have extra protection
against static electricity. Maxim’s engineers have
developed state-of-the-art structures to protect these
pins against ESD of ±15kV without damage.

The ESD-protected pins are tested with reference to the
ground pin in a powered-down condition. They are test-
ed to ±15kV using the Human Body Model.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 14a shows the Human Body Model, and Figure
14b shows the current waveform it generates when dis-
charged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of inter-
est, which is then discharged into the test device
through a 1.5kΩresistor.
Machine Model
The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a
200pF storage capacitor and zero discharge resis-
tance. The objective is to emulate the stress caused
when I/O pins are contacted by handling equipment
during test and assembly. All pins require this protec-
tion, not just RS-485 inputs and outputs.

Applications Information
256 Transceivers on the Bus
The standard RS-485 receiver input impedance is 12kΩ
(one-unit load), and the standard driver can drive up to
32 unit loads. The MAX3080E family of transceivers
have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance (96kΩ),
allowing up to 256 transceivers to be connected in par-
allel on one communication line. Any combination of
these devices and/or other RS-485 transceivers with a
total of 32 unit loads or less can be connected to the
line.
Reduced EMI and Reflections
The MAX3080E–MAX3085E, and MAX3089E with SRL =
VCC or unconnected, are slew-rate limited, minimizing
EMI and reducing reflections caused by improperly ter-
minated cables. Figure 15 shows the driver output
waveform and its Fourier analysis of a 20kHz signal
transmitted by a MAX3086E/MAX3087E/MAX3088E,
and MAX3089E with SRL = GND. High-frequency har-
monic components with large amplitudes are evident.
Figure 16 shows the same signal displayed for a
MAX3083E/MAX3084E/MAX3085E, and MAX3089E with
SRL = VCC, transmitting under the same conditions.
Figure 16’s high-frequency harmonic components are
much lower in amplitude, compared with Figure 15’s,
and the potential for EMI is significantly reduced. Figure
17 shows the same signal displayed for a MAX3080E/
MAX3081E/MAX3082E, and MAX3089E with SRL =
unconnected, transmitting under the same conditions.
Figure 17’s high-frequency harmonic components are
even lower.
In general, a transmitter’s rise time relates directly to the
length of an unterminated stub, which can be driven with
only minor waveform reflections. The following equation
expresses this relationship conservatively:
Length = tRISE / (10 x 1.5ns/ft)
where tRISE is the transmitter’s rise time.
For example, the MAX3080E’s rise time is typically
1320ns, which results in excellent waveforms with a stub
length up to 90 feet. A system can work well with longer
unterminated stubs, even with severe reflections, if the
waveform settles out before the UART samples them.
Low-Power Shutdown Mode
(Except MAX3082E/MAX3085E/MAX3088E)
Low-power shutdown mode is initiated by bringing both
RE high and DE low. In shutdown, the devices typically
draw only 1nA of supply current.
RE and DE may be driven simultaneously; the parts are
guaranteed not to enter shutdown if RE is high and DE
is low for less than 50ns. If the inputs are in this state
for at least 600ns, the parts are guaranteed to enter
shutdown.
Enable times tZH and tZL in the
Switching Char-
acteristics
tables assume the part was not in a low-
power shutdown state. Enable times tZH(SHDN) and
tZL(SHDN) assume the parts were shut down. It takes
drivers and receivers longer to become enabled from
low-power shutdown mode (tZH(SHDN), tZL(SHDN)) than
from driver/receiver-disable mode (tZH, tZL).

Driver Output Protection
Two mechanisms prevent excessive output current and
power dissipation caused by faults or by bus con-
tention. The first, a foldback current limit on the output
stage, provides immediate protection against short cir-
cuits over the whole common-mode voltage range (see
Typical Operating Characteristics
). The second, a ther-
mal shutdown circuit, forces the driver outputs into a
high-impedance state if the die temperature becomes
excessive.
Line Length vs. Data Rate
The RS-485/RS-422 standard covers line lengths up to
4000 feet. For line lengths greater than 4000 feet, use
the repeater application shown in Figure 18.
Figures 19, 20, and 21 show the system differential volt-
age for the parts driving 4000 feet of 26AWG twisted-
pair wire at 110kHz into 120Ωloads.
Typical Applications
The MAX3082E/MAX3085E/MAX3088E/MAX3089E
transceivers are designed for bidirectional data com-
munications on multipoint bus transmission lines.
Figures 22 and 23 show typical network applications
circuits. These parts can also be used as line repeaters,
with cable lengths longer than 4000 feet, as shown in
Figure 18.
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 MAX3082E/MAX3085E,
and the two modes of the MAX3089E, are more tolerant
of imperfect termination.
