General Description
The ZT485E series devices are 5V differential data line
transceivers for RS485/RS422 communication that consist
of one driver and one receiver with high level of ESD
protection. They are designed for balanced transmission
lines interface that meet ANSI standard TIA/EIA-485-A and
ISO 8482:1987(E) specifications.
The ZT485E series devices spans out with half or full duplex,
data rate guaranteed at 250k bit per second or 10Mbps, and
allow one unit load that fan out 32 devices sharing a common
bus. The I/Os are enhanced-electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protected, exceeding ±15kV Human Body Model (HBM).
Applications
• RS422/RS485 communications
• Utility meters
• Industrial process control
• Building automation
• Level tranlators
• Transceivers for EMI-sensitive applications
• Routers and HUBs
• Industrial-controlled Local Area Networks
• Industrial PCs, embedded PCs and peripherals
• Industrial, security CATV and camera applications
Features
• Meets or exceeds the requirements of ANSI Stan-
dard TIA/EIA-485-A and ISO 8482:1987(E) specifi-
cations for V
CC at +5V ±5%
• Low quiescent current – 0.5mA typ., 1mA max.
• Low shutdown current (where applicable) - 0.01µA
typical, 10µA max.
• Guaranteed standard data rate 250kbps or 10Mbps
• Thermal shutdown protection
• -7V to +12V common-mode input voltage range
• Half-Duplex or Full-Duplex configuration
• Allows up to 1 unit load (32 devices) on the same
common bus
• Controlled driver output slew rate and receiver input
filtering
• Active-high driver enable and active-low receiver
enable
• ESD Protection on bus terminals
±15kV Human Body Model (HBM)
• Drop-in Replacements for MAX483E, MAX485E,
MAX488E, MAX489E, MAX490E, MAX491E.
