The SP483E is a half-duplex differential transceiver that meets the requirements of RS-485 and RS-422. Fabricated with a Sipex proprietary BiCMOS process, the SP483E requires a fraction of the power of older bipolar designs. The SP483E receivers have differential inputs with an input sensitivity as low as 200mV. Input impedance of the receivers is typically 15k (12k minimum). A wide common mode range of -7V to +12V allows for large ground potential differences between systems. The receivers have a tri-state enable control pin. A logic LOW on RE (pin 2) will enable the receiver, a logic HIGH on RE (pin 2) will disable the receiver. The RS-485 standard is ideal for multi-drop applications and for long-distance interfaces. RS-485 allows up to 32 drivers and 32 receivers to be connected to a data bus, making it an ideal choice for multi-drop applications. Since the cabling can be as long as 4,000 feet, RS-485 transceivers are equipped with a wide (-7V to +12V) common mode range to accommodate ground potential differences. Because RS-485 is a differential interface, data is virtually immune to noise in the transmission line. The SP483E receiver is rated for data rates up to 250 Kbps. The receivers are equipped with the fail-safe feature. Fail-safe guarantees that the receiver output will be in a HIGH state when the input is left unconnected. Shutdown Mode... Drivers... The SP483E is equipped with a Shutdown mode. To enable the Shutdown state, both the driver and receiver must be disabled simultaneously. A logic LOW on DE (pin 3) and a logic HIGH on RE (pin 2) will put the SP483E into Shutdown mode. In Shutdown, supply current will drop to typically 1A. The driver outputs of the SP483E are differential outputs meeting the RS-485 and RS-422 standards. The typical voltage output swing with no load will be 0 Volts to +5 Volts. With worst case loading of 54 across the differential outputs, the drivers can maintain greater than 1.5V voltage levels. The drivers have an enable control line which is active HIGH. A logic HIGH on DE (pin 3) will enable the differential driver outputs. A logic LOW on DE (pin 3) will tri-state the driver outputs. ESD TOLERANCE... The SP483E device incorporates ruggedized ESD cells on all driver output and receiver input pins. The ESD structure is improved over our previous family for more rugged applications and environments sensitive to electro-static discharges and associated transients. The improved ESD tolerance is at least 15kV without damage nor latch-up. The SP483E has internally slew rate limited driver outputs to minimize EMI. The maximum data rate for the SP483E drivers is 250 Kbps under load. There are different methods of ESD testing applied: a) MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7 b) IEC1000-4-2 Air-Discharge c) IEC1000-4-2 Direct Contact SP483EDS/05 SP483E Low EMI Half-Duplex RS485 Transceiver 6 (c) Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation systems. For system manufacturers, they must guarantee a certain amount of ESD protection since the system itself is exposed to the outside environment and human presence. The premise with IEC1000-4-2 is that the system is required to withstand an amount of static electricity when ESD is applied to points and surfaces of the equipment that are accessible to personnel during normal usage. The transceiver IC receives most of the ESD current when the ESD source is applied to the connector pins. The test circuit for IEC1000-4-2 is shown on Figure 10. There are two methods within IEC1000-4-2, the Air Discharge method and the Contact Discharge method. The Human Body Model has been the generally accepted ESD testing method for semiconductors. This method is also specified in MIL-STD-883, Method 3015.7 for ESD testing. The premise of this ESD test is to simulate the human body's potential to store electro-static energy and discharge it to an integrated circuit. The simulation is performed by using a test model as shown in Figure 9. This method will test the IC's capability to withstand an ESD transient during normal handling such as in manufacturing areas where the ICs tend to be handled frequently. The IEC-1000-4-2, formerly IEC801-2, is generally used for testing ESD on equipment and R RS S R RC C SW2 SW2 SW1 SW1 Device Under Test C CS S DC Power Source Figure 9.

ESD Test Circuit for IEC1000-4-2 SP483EDS/05 SP483E Low EMI Half-Duplex RS485 Transceiver 7 (c) Copyright 2000 Sipex Corporation i With the Air Discharge Method, an ESD voltage is applied to the equipment under test (EUT) through air. This simulates an electrically charged person ready to connect a cable onto the rear of the system only to find an unpleasant zap just before the person touches the back panel. The high energy potential on the person discharges through an arcing path to the rear panel of the system before he or she even touches the system. This energy, whether discharged directly or through air, is predominantly a function of the discharge current rather than the discharge voltage. Variables with an air discharge such as approach speed of the object carrying the ESD potential to the system and humidity will tend to change the discharge current. For example, the rise time of the discharge current varies with the approach speed. 30A 15A 0A t=0ns Figure 11. ESD Test Waveform for IEC1000-4-2 voltage stored in the capacitor is then applied through RS, the current limiting resistor, onto the device under test (DUT). In ESD tests, the SW2 switch is pulsed so that the device under test receives a duration of voltage. The Contact Discharge Method applies the ESD current directly to the EUT. This method was devised to reduce the unpredictability of the ESD arc. The discharge current rise time is constant since the energy is directly transferred without the air-gap arc. In situations such as hand held systems, the ESD charge can be directly discharged to the equipment from a person already holding the equipment. The current is transferred on to the keypad or the serial port of the equipment directly and then travels through the PCB and finally to the IC. For the Human Body Model, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 1.5k an 100pF, respectively. For IEC-1000-42, the current limiting resistor (RS) and the source capacitor (CS) are 330 an 150pF, respectively. The higher CS value and lower RS value in the IEC1000-4-2 model are more stringent than the Human Body Model. The larger storage capacitor injects a higher voltage to the test point when SW2 is switched on. The lower current limiting resistor increases the current charge onto the test point. The circuit model in Figures 9 and 10 represent the typical ESD testing circuit used for all three methods. The CS is initially charged with the DC power supply when the first switch (SW1) is on. Now that the capacitor is charged, the second switch (SW2) is on while SW1 switches off.
