GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853/ADM4854/
ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 are differential line transceivers
suitable for high speed half- and full-duplex data communication on
multipoint bus transmission lines. They are designed for balanced
data transmission and comply with EIA Standards RS-485 and
RS-422. The ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853 are half-
duplex transceivers that share differential lines and have separate
enable inputs for the driver and receiver. The full-duplex
ADM4854/ADM4855/ADM4856/ADM4857 transceivers have
dedicated differential line driver outputs and receiver inputs.
The parts have a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance, which
allows up to 256 transceivers on one bus. Because only one driver
should be enabled at any time, the output of a disabled or pow-
ered-down driver is three-stated to avoid overloading the bus.
The receiver inputs have a true fail-safe feature, which ensures
a logic high output level when the inputs are open or shorted.
This guarantees that the receiver outputs are in a known state
before communication begins and when communication ends.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no
responsibility is assumed by Analog Devices for its use, nor for any infringements of patents or other
rights of third parties that may result from its use. Specifications subject to change without notice. No
license is granted by implication or otherwise under any patent or patent rights of Analog Devices.
Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
The driver outputs are slew-rate limited to reduce EMI and data
errors caused by reflections from improperly terminated buses.
Excessive power dissipation caused by bus contention or by
output shorting is prevented with a thermal shutdown circuit.
The parts are fully specified over the commercial and industrial
temperature ranges and are available in 8-lead SOIC, LFCSP
(ADM4850/ADM4851/ADM4852/ADM4853), and MSOP
(ADM4850 only) packages.

The half-duplex device is put into shutdown mode by driving RE high and DE low. If these inputs are in this state for less than 50 ns, the device is guaranteed not to
enter shutdown mode. If the enable inputs are in this state for at least 3000 ns, the device is guaranteed to enter shutdown mode.
